During the \”National Day\” holiday, many parents take their children to travel. Traveling can enrich the children\’s horizons and increase their knowledge… But the purpose of travel is not to take the children to watch the flowers and blindly follow the trend. What can traveling bring to the children? Parents traveling with their children What\’s the point… Parents may want to take a look at the following misunderstandings before taking their children to travel. Parents should pay attention to the first type: blindly following the trend [Misunderstanding]: \”Others take their children to travel and I also take my children to travel. Others I also let my children participate in study tours. \”Many parents take their children to travel. The real purpose is not to let their children gain knowledge, but to \”gain knowledge\” as a form of comparison. For example, in a parent group, one parent said that his child wanted to sign up for a study tour during the holidays. As a result, many parents followed suit. These parents seem to be worried about their children\’s \”expertise\”, but in fact they are comparing themselves to each other. In the end, these parents spent money and their children spent time, and they had little positive effect on their children\’s growth. The second type: Consumption and enjoyment type [Misunderstanding]: \”When traveling, you should choose \’fun\’ places, go to \’high-end\’ places, and be willing to spend money to learn more.\” Some parents take their children to travel, which is indeed true in their original intention. I want my children to gain knowledge, but I don’t know what kind of knowledge they should have and what counts as knowledge. Therefore, adhering to the point of view of \”expensive is good\”, I took my children from this amusement park to that amusement park, from this five-star hotel to that luxury B&B, eating the food here, buying the specialties there, experiencing this entertainment project and experiencing that high-end sports wait. In fact, extravagant travel content does not make children truly knowledgeable, but instead encourages children to compare. The third type: a quick tour [Misunderstanding]: \”Visit the most scenic spots in the shortest time. The more places your children go, the greater the harvest will be.\” Some parents visit every scenic spot in order to take photos and post on Moments. When traveling, they would hurriedly find “Internet celebrity spots” to take photos, but they didn’t even realize what the real purpose of bringing their children here was. Parent-child travel is not about the so-called \”efficiency\”. Visiting the most scenic spots in the shortest time is not what parent-child travel should be like. When traveling with children, you need to let them experience foreign lands, experience nature and culture, and learn knowledge. So, what kind of travel is beneficial to children? High-quality travel is the meaning of travel. During the travel process, communicate with your children at any time and share the happy feelings of travel with each other. I believe that such actions will add more to the trip. The warm atmosphere can make the trip go more smoothly. Participate more in children\’s activities and games, fully communicate their feelings, and the company of parents will provide children with sufficient security. Children with a strong sense of security are more confident, friendlier, grow up more smoothly, have more friends, and have better interpersonal relationships. Improve children\’s sense of participation and cultivate their sense of responsibility. Before departure, children and parents prepare travel supplies together. Going to different places requires different things. For example, if you are going to the beach to play, you should wear TaiSunglasses, sun protection clothing, swimming-related swimsuits, swimming rings, etc.; prepare to go hiking, what kind of clothes and shoes to wear, etc. Food to satisfy hunger on the road, toys to pass the time in the car, etc. can be left alone for the child to pack and put into a bag, which they are responsible for carrying. The process of children\’s participation can cultivate children\’s preparation ability, planning and sense of responsibility. Let children have in-depth travel experiences. \”Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.\” Most parents want to use their holidays to take their children to travel around the mountains and rivers of the motherland, experience the customs and customs of other places, and increase their knowledge. Every time we visit an attraction, we need to let our children feel the meaning that this attraction can bring to them. For example, when you take your children to a museum, don\’t just take pictures. Instead, take your children to listen to the explanations and read the introductions, understand the knowledge and culture, know the mysteries, and let the children gain something. The purpose of true parent-child travel is to allow children to gain growth experience, so that children can feel the love of their parents during the trip, gain deep companionship from their parents, and gain love and growth after the trip.
