Make every trip with your child a memorable one.

Prepare yourself mentally

Many parents often think that each trip is simply a relaxing vacation or taking the children out, but for children it is truly a special experience that can make them impressed and remember for a long time. Therefore, sharing with children in advance about the reason, meaning of the trip, the destination or the interesting activities that will be carried out is very necessary. You can also ask your child's opinion about where they want to go to show respect and the whole family can plan together. Turn the trip into a reward when children listen or achieve good results, tell about the places and activities that children will participate in to make them more excited. This also helps stimulate curiosity and make children want to learn more, increase their knowledge of culture, geography, history, etc. In order not to miss those lovely emotions, you can also equip your children with small notebooks for them to record their experiences.

Let children be proactive

In addition to the necessary items for the whole family, encourage children to prepare their own luggage. Choosing clothes and bringing their favorite toys will help children feel more connected to the trip and more responsible. When traveling with children, families should pack their luggage compactly, only bring necessary items for convenience when having to change means of transport and watch the children. Dividing luggage according to the purpose and needs of use is also very necessary so that every time you look for things, you will not have to rummage through everything.

Memories on flights

The process of waiting in line for immigration or having to sit for a long time on the plane, especially on a long flight, can make children feel uncomfortable. So share about the flight in advance so that children can prepare mentally. And if you have to travel on a long flight, you should prepare in advance forms of entertainment so that children can sit still and not feel tired. It is not too difficult to understand that when flying with young children, families often choose good airlines instead of low-cost airlines because this helps parents to be more free and comfortable. For example, Emirates, which is famous for being very "indulgent" to young passengers, always has many convenient services for families with young children, such as separate check-in counters, separate meals, a collection of stuffed animals and useful toys for children, and a series of attractive entertainment programs, ... ensuring to bring children the most interesting experiences.

Safety knowledge and hazards

One of the things that worries parents the most when traveling with young children is the fear of children getting lost or in danger. To prevent this, "train" children in advance about the ability to recognize basic dangers, the possibility of getting lost and kidnapped to help them visualize more clearly about the destination, what to avoid and what to do. Let children carry a phone to contact or tag the child's name with the parents' contact address if the child is young is also a way that can help when the child needs help. Preparing these things in advance, you will feel "easier" when managing children and at the same time help children be more confident in the problems encountered.

Memories of the trip

For young children, you should pay more attention to make them feel safe when going to a strange place. You should also regularly ask how your child feels and show love to make the trip as complete as possible. For slightly older children, encouraging them to save memories of the trip will help stimulate them to move and immerse themselves in their trip. The opportunity to travel and meet and talk with people around them will also help children improve their communication skills and become more active. In addition, the whole family should take photos or videos of wonderful memorable moments together. This memory will be forever engraved in the child's mind, connecting emotions and even being a "medicine" to relieve stress in family life.
