Maybe your kid will not remember staring at the ocean for the first time. He might not even remember that first moment of shock when your kid felt the cool water on the toes and might not even remember how quickly that surprise gave way to joy when your kid realized how fun it was to kick little legs as we held him above the waves. But whether your kid will remember this isn’t the point. To a parent, the more significant questions are: How will this time help you re-centre as a family? What will the experience teach to your kids? And in what positive ways will the experience live on in the hearts, if not in our memories?

There are numerous benefits of Travel for Kids. In the 21st century, our kids live and breathe in a world that has become progressively more accessible. This new period of easy travel provides them with opportunities that we could have only dreamed about not long ago. For many, the world has become their backyard, with an aggregated number of parents taking their kids out of school for an extended amount of time to travel.

Taking kids travelling brings invaluable advantages; it brings benefits on a much deeper level. With the best motivation in the world, sheltering our kids from stereotypes and prejudice is a clash we will inevitably lose. They will be exposed to it all, but as parents, we have a significant say over how they deal with it and whether they choose to become open-minded, tolerant, global citizens.

We can learn a lot about ancientfacts in our history books, technology and the internet. But nothing is as constructive for a child getting acquainted than being able to walk in the steps of history’s significant figures.
