Kidnapping in the name of "long insight".
In the current economic environment, the pursuit of all-round development of children, travel has become an important part of children's education.
From weekend park trips to overseas study tours during winter and summer vacations, travel expenses have become an important part of family education.
However, behind this "long insight", there is a contest of consumption levels.
It's better not to travel for the sake of showing off
Parents often compare each other's travel destinations and expenses in gatherings or small talk, and this comparison psychology has distorted the original purpose of travel.
In fact, the purpose of traveling with children should be to allow them to experience different cultures and environments, broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.
However, in reality, many so-called "high-end trips" just take children from one playground to another, and such trips do not really increase children's knowledge.
Therefore, we should re-examine the meaning and value of travel.
The purpose of traveling with children is to let them learn and increase their knowledge, not just for entertainment and consumption.
Ultimately, we need to make children understand that travel is not about where you want to go and how much you spend, but about what you experience and grow along the way.
A trip for pleasure is better not to go
In the pursuit of happiness, if it is only to satisfy our own desires, perhaps we should reconsider the necessity of it.
You might say that the places you take your kids to are outdoors, not luxurious.
The true meaning of travel is to let children experience life, not just sightseeing.
When they see different ways of life on their journey, thinking about the state of other people's existence, and how they should live, this experience, combined with their inner insights, will bring brightness to their eyes and fulfillment to their spirits.
However, we must be aware that the perspective of children is different from that of adults. They may prefer to play in the playground rather than visit places of interest.
It is neither reasonable nor fair to force them to focus on things that we are not interested in.
A trip without a desire to explore, it's better not to go
A child's heartfelt exploration may be just a morning in front of a swarm of ants, and that's how they grow up in a unique way.
The result of traveling around the world with children should not be to force them to fulfill their parents' long-cherished wishes, but to let them truly know and understand the world.
We must respect children's wishes and interests and allow them to explore the world at the right time.
In short, real travel should be for children to experience life and increase knowledge, not to satisfy adult desires.
Let's create a free and fulfilling travel environment for children to grow and discover themselves on the road.
Parents who don't have a love for travel might as well not take their children with them
In the name of "good for the child", he constantly uses mistakes to make up for another mistake.
Without a passion for exploration, such a trip may not be necessary.
For children, the meaning of travel comes from their parents' perception of them.
Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.
When we take our children on a trip, if we only revolve around the children and keep explaining, do we really see something? Just as children who cultivate artistic interests need parents who are interested in hobbies, children's learning is more about imitating their parents.
Our love of travel should precede traveling with children.
What's the use of a wandering trip?
Observation and reflection on life are not limited to hotels and attractions. Is staying in a standardized hotel, visiting attractions with expensive tickets, and taking a few photos of places of interest considered a trip?
When we left, we were still alien to life in this new city, as if we had never really integrated and engaged. A simple tour, with only a bunch of photos, is not really a tour.
What else is there for a fancy tour besides physical exhaustion and superficial feelings?
What kind of impact will it have on children to take local buses, visit markets, have enough time to play in the river, sit under old trees, and meet local children?
These are real and profound life experiences, not artificially created performances.
So, how should we deal with such a situation?
I am not against children traveling, but we should respect their needs and interests and let them experience life at the right time.
When they are young and like to roll on the grass and catch bugs, we should accompany them and enjoy these simple pleasures.
When they are older, we can let them arrange their own vacations and explore the world with their friends.
When the child was in the third grade of primary school, he learned "Zhu De's Flat Dan" and expressed that he wanted to go to that revolutionary base area, and we should take him to Jinggangshan to take a walk and understand the history of the revolution.
The premise is that he is interested and we love. When we have the opportunity to design a life experience for our children, that's where the real starting point begins.
Without thought and desire, there can be no new discoveries. Without an example, no amount of arrangement is in vain.
So let's get rid of the demonization of "children want to travel" and respect children's interests and needs so that they can grow and experience in real life.
Finally, the end of the sentence: you are interested in traveling, and perhaps, children are more interested in ants moving.
