Traveling provides children with endless learning opportunities, particularly in social skills. Parents can help their children get the most out of their travel experiences by following some of these recommendations:
- Planning. Children can become involved in planning the itinerary in age-appropriate ways. For example, young children can look at travel books to help decide on landmarks they would like to visit. Older children can read books about travel destinations to learn more about the cultures before the visit.
- Documenting. Parents can teach their children to use simple cameras and recording devices to document the trip. After the trip, older children can put together digital or physical scrapbooks of photos and information about their experiences on the trip.
- Budgeting. For teenagers, a family trip can be a great incentive for earning money. Parents can help their teens set financial goals, start a small business, or find a job to make money for the trip. This is also a great opportunity for older children to learn about currency rates and conversion.
