Nowadays, "children need to travel" has been demonized. Parents should stop "following the crowd" and take their children out to play more often. Try to leave some truly meaningful experiences for children, and do things they should do and try at their age.
Don't kidnap families in the name of "broadening their horizons"
The improvement of economic level and the desire for children's all-round development have made children's travel a trend.
Behind "broadening their horizons" is the undercurrent of competition in consumption levels: Do you take your children out to play? Where do you take your children to play? What hotel do you stay in? Where do your children's playmates go to play? What gifts do you buy for your classmates? How will this holiday trip be described in the communication between children and classmates and friends?
Before and after the holidays, at the gathering point where mothers pick up their children from school, when parents who take their children to the office have lunch at noon, and when meeting with neighboring parents, the topic is "Where did you go during the holidays?" Behind this sentence, it does not represent your teachings. Do you really want to take your children out to "broaden their horizons" or are you doubtful, willing or not, no matter how strong your economy is, you will be caught in this gust of wind and cannot go, and you can't explain it clearly.
It is best not to travel for the purpose of showing off.
Urbanized life has brought about the lack of leisure and contact with nature, and the proliferation of electronic devices and large amusement parks. In order to make up for this lack, we choose to make up for it by taking children out to play. Now we have launched ten resort hotels that are most suitable for children... These customized high-end trips are just taking children from the small amusement park in the shopping mall at the doorstep to a larger amusement park, from the ocean park in one city to the zoo and ocean park in another city...
The so-called world view and outlook on life mentioned by Internet celebrities and bloggers are mostly enjoyed and consumed in these more luxurious and modern environments. If you only emphasize travel and don't take people on any kind of travel, the final result is that everyone contributes money to travel agencies and tourism companies.
Parents should know that what you see does not mean that you have gained knowledge.
During the journey, see all kinds of life, think about why others live, how you should live, combine what you see and encounter in your heart, brighten your eyes, enrich your spirit, experience life, and change your life. This is the meaning of travel, and more of it is taken for granted "I think" and "I thought". Children, especially preschoolers, no matter where they go, want to go to the amusement park the most. They don't care or are not interested in so many places of interest, but adults force them to see them and force them to see something. This is hateful and ridiculous. We have no way to see what children can see, but one thing is certain, what they see is definitely different from what adults see. No child likes such a trip, yes, children don't like such a trip.
Travel is good for children. The significance of children's choice of travel to parents
We hope that children can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Until he grows up, travel is not closed, it depends on your interests and actions. When we take our children out, we are by their side and keep telling them to look, do you see it?
Parents without hobbies cannot cultivate children with artistic interests. Children learn from their parents. You should travel thousands of miles first. Note that you should not travel thousands of miles just to take your children out, but because you are interested in traveling. Can you do it?
I don't know if you have ever been put in a cage and taken to the zoo. What do we think of those leisurely animals outside the cage? In fact, many travel signals are in the cage. We often deceive ourselves and travel for the sake of traveling. Have you really absorbed the meaning of what you said?
Observation and thinking of life are not in hotels and shopping
We stay in standardized hotels wherever we go. We see tickets with large tickets inside small tickets. Even eating and drinking are solved in fast food chains that can be seen everywhere. Does taking pictures of scenic spots and historical sites count as traveling? When we leave, our new city and the life in this city are still desolate, or we have never had any contact with Qatar.
Simple field visits and taking a batch of photos back are not considered traveling. You must live in a real place for a period of time to understand the lives and customs of the locals. Whirlwind travel, in addition to physical work and the feeling of repeating what others say, where is the observation and thinking of life and life?
If you can exchange with a family during the holidays, let the child take the local bus and go to the local market, you have enough time to let the child go to the small river in the village to play in the water, let her sit under the old tree at the door and take a nap, and let her make some local friends. We don't know what this experience brings to her, but what we know is that what she experienced is not artificial, but real life without selling tickets!
So should we not take the child out?
The above trips advocate that children should not go, so should we not take the child out? Of course not!
It is not only taking a plane to go out that is called traveling; without thinking and desire first, there will be no so-called new discoveries; without role models, no matter how many arrangements are in vain; I would rather not take the child to travel, but I hope that parents will not "follow the crowd" to take the child, leave some experience for the child, and do what she should do and want to do at this age.
It is better to let the child experience and explore the meaning of travel by himself than to force the child to take pictures and appreciate the beautiful scenery you think. As a parent, you should regard travel as a kind of experience and practice.
