Things to Remember while Travelling with Children

Things to Remember while Travelling with Children

“When you travel with your children you are giving them something that can never be taken away…EXPERIENCE, EXPOSURE, and a WAY OF LIFE”
– Pamela I Chandler

Vision is something that helps us to remember things more properly than by any other means. You might forget things that you read from somewhere easily but you won’t forget a movie that fastly. Similarly things you read about a place might fade away but the places you visit will be vivid in your memories. Let your children have a bag of colorful memories of their childhood. Don’t consider taking your children along during trips as a burden but understand that it’s an experience for them now and a beautiful memory for them tomorrow.

Now let’s see the things that you have to keep in mind while travelling with children.

1. Ensure that your children are always in an area not beyond your sight and one call away as it’s not safe to leave them alone in a strange place. They might meet with accidents and there is also possibility of children being kidnapped. A pleasure trip shouldn’t end up with misery.
2. Advise your children prior to the journey that don’t talk to strangers and behave properly everywhere. Also, ask them not to eat anything that co passengers and strangers offer.
3. Take extra clothes for your children as they might get their clothes dirty while playing very often and their hygenie is very important.
4. Take emergency medicines which might be needed as kids might have fever or cold easily due to change of climate.
5. Carry along their drawing books and crayons as kids will be fond of drawing and colouring when they come to new places and encouraging them to do so will help kindle the hidden talents in them. Reading bed time stories to them including anecdotes from the journey will add more colour to the trips in their mind.
6. Don’t forget to carry the baby food and cereals that they regularly have as restaurant food might not be good for them.
7. If your child uses diaper, it’s wise enough to carry it with you.
8. Don’t over pack as it will be difficult to manage the kids along with the heavy luggage.
9. It is very likely that how much so ever you care your child might sprint away once your eyes turn away in to something else. So, it’s safe if you write down your name and contact number in their arm. In case the child gets lost he/she can seek help with the written details on their arm from someone.
10. If you are planning to go to beach or pool sides, arrange protective gears for the child and be more cautious.
11. Carrying a sling or baby carrier which eases with carrying them and walking.

These are some quick tips to try making your journeys with children safe and happy. Brighten the smiles of your little minions by taking at least a stroll with them through the country side and tell them stories about the trees, plants, birds and whatever you see on the way. Try to find some time to spare with your children to chill in a beach or wherever your child is amused. Because it will be the tiny snippets that they could recollect from their past keeps them going tomorrow while they are old and facing a stressful life. Also, a colourful and vibrant childhood is what the parents can give as the biggest gift as this itself is what helps them in their overall cognitive development and journeys will definitely help them in building on their social, motor and cognitive development.
