Excerpts from the article:
“With children able to see the world from their laptops, tablets, and phones, parents on a budget may opt to spend more time looking at beautiful destinations with their children online, rather than actually experiencing it with them. No matte how realistic the online experience can be, with crystal clear video and stunning photographs, nothing can replace the feeling they get from dipping their toes in crystal clear water in Tobago, or taking in the stunning views of a hillside sunrise in Bali.”
“In Robert Frost’s famous poem, The Road Not Taken, he says that taking the road less traveled by ‘has made all the difference.’ As parents, it is important for us to instill a sense of adventure and an appreciation for cultural diversity in our children as early, and as often as possible. In our current economy, that may not be possible for everyone. If you can, consider visiting more exotic, family-friendly, and often affordable destinations with your children. Lead them down the road less traveled by. Nurturing their innate spirit of exploration just might make ‘all the difference.'”
“Help them to answer the question, “are we there yet?” for themselves with inexpensive world maps. Purchase an inexpensive paper map of the world, and with colorful pens or fun stickers (i.e. hearts for home, stars for the final destination, and dots for stops along the route), have your children mark the places they’ve been or where they are going.”
