Enjoy the children
It is important that all family members traveling can enjoy and rest, but above all, for the vacation to be a success we have to be able to change our mentality, our rhythms and adapt our desires to children, enjoying them, playing, talking, without hurry or stress.
A trip is a great experience, but above all it is an opportunity to enjoy the children. If we are not able to do it, we better stay at home.
During the year, between school and work families usually have little time to enjoy together day by day. The holidays will help us get better, get to know each other better, do activities all together or simply, let time pass placidly letting us invent new games.
Delving into the knowledge of our children, sharing unforgettable memories, is perhaps the most beautiful thing we are going to take from any trip with children.
Adapt to your basic rhythms and needs
Obviously children need to follow adequate food and have a restful rest in the long and active days of travel. That must be taken into account, with flexibility but with intelligence. We must adapt to their basic rhythms and needs for health, rest, hygiene and food.
If the child wakes up soon we will have to give up at night, even if there are those who take care of him at night, because in the morning the little ones do not understand the parents' accumulated dream and we will have to be fit, ready to keep up inexhaustible energy. The room where we go to sleep during the trip It should be in a place without noise, have an adequate bed, temperature control and elements that prevent mosquito bites.
But we also have to count on that the food must be ready when the child is hungry, we cannot give you breakfast at eight o'clock and do not sit at the restaurant table until after three o'clock, because you will be exhausted and hungry.
A good idea is to always carry water and some easy-to-eat and healthy foods: bananas, apples, cookies, bread and cheese ... Of course, if we have given you a succulent mid-morning snack, you may not get hungry for food and rather, what you need is to take a good nap. Organization is the key.
Although children usually enjoy meals away from home, depending on your age or temperament, eating in restaurants that do not serve fast or pretend to make a long table is not a good idea.
That we have a good time cannot imply that the child ends up exhausted, crying or scolding him because he can't stand sitting. On vacations with children they have the right to enjoy and not be required to do things that are against their natural needs.
It is better to eat fast or have things ready so we can all continue enjoying at meals, planning games and holding conversations that include them.
A very important thing to keep in mind, especially in summer, is the need to maintain a correct hydration. We should always carry a bottle of mineral water to give them a drink and also avoid exposure and activities during the hottest hours.
