Travelling soon? Why not travel with your kids. Here are some of the benefits and reasons why:
- Stronger Families – Families share a number of experiences together while on vacation. These shared experiences enhance and strengthen family bonds. Whether you are sharing a roller coaster ride or visiting new sites, the time spent together serves to draw families closer.
- New Responsibilities –Both kids and parents will learn new skills as they adapt to new roles and responsibilities required by travel.
- Opportunities for Bravery – The adventure of traveling away from home can also provide opportunities for children to learn and demonstrate courage.
- Learning Experiences – Another benefit of travel is that it provides opportunities for unique learning experiences. Most of school learning is done through books. Travelling, on the other hand, can give children real-world applications to what they’ve been studying during the school year. Just as taking kids to an art or natural history museum can add tangibility to what they first read about in school, travel can add rich context and substance to their classroom knowledge.
- Improved Grades – Studies have shown that exposing our kids to new cultures and places fuels their sense of curiosity and wonder. This in-turn makes them bring out their creative sides based on what they’ve seen and heard or experienced during the travel.
