If you want to increase unity with your children, the holidays should appeal to all the members of your family, the next time you plan it, involve them all.
Every time the holidays approach, your heart is filled with a very special atmosphere. Holidays not only provide rest but the most important thing about them is that it allows you to enjoy the company of your loved ones. For this reason and for many other things, it is necessary that the holidays are planned by all the members of the family so that each of them contributes ideas that enrich those happy days since the daily routine of the year creates a routine that suffocates, and the exhaust valve is only achieved by breaking that routine that kills.
If the date of your next vacation is approaching, we recommend that you prepare them in a very peculiar way.
Invite your children to a dinner and tell them that everyone will participate in the preparation of that dinner. Ask them for their opinion of what they want to eat that night and try to bring all the ingredients, but avoid commenting on the intention of making the travel plan.
With everyone gathered in the dining room, Dad starts talking about the next vacation and the need to go to a place where they have the opportunity to live together as a family and at the same time enjoy their own independence.
Start the plan
This is the opportunity to make a wonderful trip with your family, take advantage of this trip to express to each one of them how important they are to you, recognize their qualities, accept them as they are, try to make them feel loved and respected, and above All tell them that you are not alone, that you are and will always be their support. Share the fun together. Create family traditions and lasting memories.
So, since everything starts with planning, the following points must be taken so that this beautiful project does not become a motive for lawsuits.
Listen to each other and reach a consensus, giving each of you and the children the importance of the comment.
Avoid arguments. Dad, be the moderator.
Ask the children to propose the place and explain why they chose that place. In the end you do the same.
Take into account the budget and the time you would have for the trip.
When deciding on a site, then share tasks with each other such as researching road maps, hotels, entertainment venues, etc.
Take into account that you have to prepare the appropriate clothes that you are going to wear, as well as the size and number of suitcases. Do not overdo luggage.
¿ What place to choose ?
Do physical activity. It creates a firm foundation for a healthy life. Both you and your children will win. Physical activity can:
- Improve self-esteem and learning ability. Help children manage stress. Develop and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints. Help control weight.
Family Adventures. See interesting things in your community. Walk with your family through the fields, fishing and rowing in a canoe. Discover public parks. Visit the Yumká. Explore outdoor tourist attractions.
Family exercise vacation. Plan an active trip. Swim on the beach or ride a bike in the country. Climb or camp in the bush. Explore state and national parks like Agua Blanca or Agua Azul Waterfalls; Raft down a river; Take a walking tour of a city.
The gift of physical activity. Give a gift that encourages activity. Give your children a swimsuit or exercise shoes. Choose toys that require movement, such as a basketball or bicycle.
Community service. Benefit others while benefiting the family - volunteer as a family. Pick up litter from a nearby roadside, help neighbors remove leaves from your yard, or join other families to clean up your favorite park.
When the holidays are over, I recommend everyone get back together and recount how beautiful the holidays were and jointly participate in the making of the family album. Avoid at that meeting to talk about the setbacks you had and if you decide to discuss it, do it but in a funny way, laughing at the incidents that happened and how they resolved it.
Finally, I would like to point out to you that it is a joy to share fun with your family all the time, because remember that children only need to play and you do too.
