There are some wonderful secrets to traveling with children.
They are wonderful because they help you to plan how to make
the trip more uneventful and peaceful.
First and foremost remember that this vacation is for YOU! You
plan it and decide where you are going.
There are considerations youll want to include, such as: do
you want to sightsee or do the beach? Cruise or hike? Theme
parks or camper park?
Secondly, and probably most importantly, know what to expect.
Remember that the care-giving responsibilities you have when
you are at home wont magically disappear when you go on
vacation. There will still be the standard work tasks of
bathing, dressing, feeding, and running after children.
One thing to agree upon before leaving is the split of duties
between traveling partners so that there arent surprises
once you are gone.
When you consider a split of duties dont forget to include
the older children. Our 8-year-old loves helping with his
younger sister and the truth be told, not only does he not
mind helping, it makes him feel needed and older .
Thirdly, plan for help during the trip if you feel you may
need it.
