Michelle Daly DeSchryver is a mother of two. She’s also self-employed and often travels with her kids by her side for work. It might sound chaotic, but traveling with your little ones doesn’t need to be (very) stressful. As adventurous parents like Michelle Daly DeSchryver know, a bit of preparation goes a long way. Tips like those can make exploring the world with your kiddos fun for everyone involved:
• Pick Destinations Together: Kids are known for changing their minds in moments, but if you pick destinations with your little ones, they’re more likely to embrace the experience. If you have a country in mind, look at kid-friendly activities and ask your children what sounds like fun. You’ll have a list too long in no time.
• Go Slow : You might enjoy breezing through a new location, but this can overstimulate even the most outgoing child. Go slow, take time to see the sights and don’t rush your little one across town just because that amazing museum is closing soon.
Depending on how old your children are, you may also need to stay close to the hotel for naps, which means breaks in exploration, but that’s okay. You might even enjoy taking naps with them so you’re both rested. Before you and your children hit a new country, like Michelle Daly DeSchryver has done with her kids, help them learn to enjoy travel with local sightseeing and exploration.
