Stress -free family holidays: This is how traveling with children succeeds!

Schweiz - Family holidays are often exhausting and not relaxing for many parents. As a current study shows, the challenges when traveling with children are diverse. Also the psychotherapist Felizitas ambassing, co-host of the podcast Relationship cosmos , which has an eight-year-old daughter, gives valuable insights into this topic. She emphasizes that trips with children have uncertainty variables because many people with different needs are included.

travel also offers the chance that children will develop important skills such as flexibility, social skills and self -confidence. Careful planning is crucial to guarantee such positive experiences. Parents should clarify what they expect from vacation before the trip - this includes aspects such as activities, accommodation and the surrounding area as well as the wishes of the children who should be included in the planning from primary school age.

The right planning for relaxed holidays

Good planning starts before departure. Parents should keep an eye on their children's needs, such as hunger, thirst and movement. Flexibility during the trip is also important; Daily meetings can help to respond to the needs of the family and to avoid conflicts that usually arise from overexciting. The first day of travel should ideally be designed without a program to avoid fatigue. Screen Time can be acceptable in dimensions to make long trips a little more pleasant.

In addition, parents should also plan time for themselves to be more relaxed. A "wave breaker week" before the holidays can be helpful to reduce the stress of everyday life.

podcast as a valuable resource

Felizitas ambassing and her podcast partner Sabine met in 2019 on a radio show. Her joint passion for psychology led to the decision to start the podcast Relationship cosmos .
