Why should the parent going out travel with their children? because There are many benefits to family travel. Primary, The experiences your children will have on the road will shape them into thoughtful, well-balanced citizens, capable of taking on the world. My parents are rarely to go out with me when i was child because of economy. But these day while i'm being a parent, i never going out without my children, its so fun to teach them any lesson such as homeschooling, roadschooling, or else..
A. Kids learn to deal with other cultures
There’s no better way to get kids involved with other cultures than to put us in direct contact with them. Early exposure to different ethnic groups around the world will teach us how to comfortably interact with them and make lasting friendships. The ability to be at ease among other societies will be a major asset when your child is grown and dealing with “the real world.”
Travel will rapidly teach children how to make connections with those around us, despite natural difficulties such as the language barrier. We learn quickly that language is really no restriction, as we can all connect through every day activities, such as music or sports.
B. Traveling children are more likely to be bilingual
Learning a foreign language becomes much easier when those around you speak it constantly. Children living outside their native country are much more likely to be motivated to learn other languages than children within a school program. The ability to pick up other languages helps us to become more comfortable in a foreign environment. Language courses are the perfect way to speed up our progress in another language.
But being around native speakers is more than just educational. Not only does leaving an English speaking environment force you to leave your comfort zone, where communication is easy, it brings you to a more complete realization of the differences between cultures. Many Americans have never seen the outside of their country, with many only taking the package trip, complete with resorts, English speaking staff, and guaranteed comforts.
While this method of travel may be comfortable and easy, it’s impossible to fully realize the depth of a foreign culture from your poolside chair, where everyone speaks English to some extent and is accustomed to dealing with the American tourists. Where would the motivation be to learn their language, adding it to your own? How could you experience the differences in that culture? By taking ourselves away from the comfort of those who are fluent in English, drowning in a wild local market or on a crowded city bus, we can realize how important it is to learn a foreign language. The sooner your children have the opportunity to widen their knowledge of foreign languages, the better. It is commonly known that we find it much easier to pick up a language than adults do, and what better way to teach us than to immerse us in a foreign culture?
C. Kids learn to go with the flow
Travel is one of the best ways to teach kids to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Early on, we learn the importance of being able to “go with the flow.” Taking things in stride becomes second nature, a skill which will serve us well in our adult years. Also, conditions that seem intolerable to others won’t phase us. For example, trekking through a dusty desert on a hot day, having to use the jungle floor as a bathroom, or cycling through a freezing downpour in England become everyday difficulties to overcome.
International experience will help them to develop future careers
International experience is extremely important for many different parts of an adult life. Being on the road naturally teaches us flexibility and management skills, something many adults struggle with. Also, interacting with citizens of the world from early on will give us a broader mindset than we might be able to gain while living a “normal” life. All these traits can be indispensable when searching for a career in the future.
There are hundreds of ways to live in a unique way that the common population hasn’t discovered yet, because American children have been raised with the same basic mindset for generations. Travel is one of the most effective ways to break us out of the American mold born of tradition and open our minds to see that the world is far bigger than we had previously imagined, and the future is really open to whatever dreams we may have. The experiences we have on the road will allow us to know our own desires with more clarity, and so when the time comes, we will be able to make an informed decision about the direction we want to go with our lives.
This is one of the many things that kids who are raised traditionally struggle with. I’ve met dozens of teens who don’t know what to do with their lives, because they’ve forgotten how to dream. Listen to those around you, and tell me you haven’t heard again and again, “No, you can’t do that, you’re not smart enough, strong enough, cool enough, rich enough,(fill in the blank).” Our dreams are killed when we are young, leaving us unimaginative and incapable of ingenuity when we’re grown. Travel will open our minds to show us that even our most extravagant dreams are attainable, and it will also give us a global perspective on life. And is that not worth something in a world where entrepreneurial and international skills are valued above all else?
It’s the best form of education available
There is no better school out there than Mother Nature herself. Where better to teach us the essentials of life? What better playground than the great oceans, the tall forests, the wide deserts? What better playmates than children from around the world? Of course, I’m not suggesting that going completely without textbooks is a good idea. But bringing them with you as you travel is, in my opinion, the best form of education our world provides.
Road-schooling is not for everyone, but it’s been the best option for me.
Traveling with your children will not only provide you with wonderful memories and stories over the years, it will give us an outstanding opportunity to learn and grow into amazing citizens of the world. It will give us an outlook on our planet that we wouldn’t achieve any other way, and permit us to understand other cultures with a depth we would not be able to gain while in a normal classroom. It will educate us above and beyond what even the best traditional setting could offer. It will set us into the real world right away instead of placing us in an artificial setting until we reach eighteen, when we are suddenly expected to be capable adults with zero experience in the outside world. After all, in what adult situation are you placed into a room with people exactly your age, experience, and culture, for seven hours a day? Do you think being raised in this situation truly prepares us for real world experiences and challenges? Do you think it’s fair to expect us to suddenly be a capable adult after having been in this unnatural system for most of our lives?COME ON, CHILDRENS ARE OUR FUTURE(.bootsnal)
