Why not take the children abroad?

For adults and children, tourism enriches our lives and broadens our horizons. But not every family can afford expensive overseas travel. Experts say that in fact, you don't have to take your children abroad to enjoy the benefits of travel. Research shows that when children are young, the benefits of in-depth tourism in their hometown are often greater than those of sightseeing abroad.

Child psychologists say that children don't really need expensive foreign travel, just as young people don't need more youth.

Mom and dad may want to take their children to explore an unknown place every summer vacation, or they may want to go to Europe to see the ruins and have a vivid history lesson, or they may want to take an eco-trip to Spain, but Oliver, a famous British child psychologist? In an interview with Travel and Leisure magazine, Oliver james pointed out: "For preschool children, it is more beneficial to travel deeply in their hometown. 」

"Children like and need regularity, which is true in all aspects of life, including travel. James said that basically, preschool children will like to go to the same familiar place again and again.

"When my children were young, we traveled to Cornwall every August for nine years. James takes his home as an example: "Sometimes it rains, but the children still want to go to Cornwall, so we just sit by the sea and watch the sea." 」

Of course, this tendency of children will change with their growth. When children grow up, they will gradually become adventurous and explore the unknown world. When James's children grew up, he finally took them to France for the first time. "At that time, they were 8 years old, 1 1 years old," he recalled. "The older children have just been able to appreciate exotic customs: he tasted fromage and we went shopping. He even noticed that the sunscreen lotion used by the French is different from ours. The children showed impatience. The next year, the two of them insisted on going back to Cornwall Beach. Now they are 12 and 15 years old respectively, and they like to explore new places, but we will still go to Cornwall in summer. 」
