If you're looking to impress your child in the long run, there's a better way to do it: have a great family vacation.
Holidays are a sacred and privileged moment to get away from everyday life, stress and fatigue that accompany it. This time of year is essential to strengthen the family and marital ties as well as the development of the family, but especially of the child. And unlike the toy your kid loves, having a family vacation is something you'll enjoy too.
Holidays Vs. Toys
According to a study conducted online in March 2016, 89% of parents in France consider that holidays are essential. It allows them to relax, discover new things and meet each other. In addition, it reveals that vacations play a major role in the development of children.
Similarly, according to Oliver James, Britain's best selling psychologist, two-thirds of the toys parents buy from their children are useless and not really wanted. Also, family holidays are definitely appreciated by children, both during the stay, and longer after that since this experience will remain etched in their memories. So as much as choosing to spend money on something that has more meaning and value ... Oliver James also explains that just like adults, children value experiences more than material goods. They love to travel while exploring the world differently and especially in their own way.
However, some parents often make the mistake of choosing a vacation spot thinking that their children would be just as excited as they are. Do not expect your children to be interested in a cultural destination, they need to have fun.
So the best approach is to let your children marvel in their own way, to explore the world as they wish to discover new horizons and new cultures.
The importance of holidays
You should also know that family trips allow your children to see another side of your personality, which they rarely see in your everyday life; this playful and fun side, far from your strict side, marked by the stress and tensions of adult life. When you go on vacation, you move away physically and psychologically from your routine and you free yourself from all the professional pressures to find yourself in a relaxed and relaxed atmosphere.
On the other hand, toys are made to encourage play, Oliver James notes that they put some distance between children and their parents. Keep this in mind, the next time you find yourself in the toy department.
Look for a destination with your kids for your next vacation. You will see how you will all feel happy just to plan a trip elsewhere and wait for the first day of the adventure. Create together pleasant moments and memorable memories, and enjoy every moment of sharing. You will see how much your children will be grateful to you, and forget about the existence of toys ... Everyone will be a winner!
