Avoiding Jet Lag In Children 0

Posted on December 02, 2007 by dorisch

In one week’s time, we’ll be taking off for our family vacation. Many of my friends are surprised that we are taking a three year old for a long haul trip but we are all excited about it!

The truth is jet Lag does leave adults tired, cranky and many times, physically ill. For children the adjustment from one time zone to another is even more difficult. Young children, especially, are very sensitive to any changes in their schedules and react poorly to sudden time differences. Read the rest of this entry →

eating out with children 0

Posted on October 20, 2007 by dorisch

Eating out when traveling with children can be an experience. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always interesting. If you plan carefully, your family can have a pleasant dining experience without ruining the wait staff’s day.

First, try to plan restaurant visits during less busy times. Waiting in long lines for a table, slow service and harried wait staff do not make for a pleasant meal for anyone. Small children get bored easily and a bored, hungry child is an unhappy child.

entertain your kids with a portable DVD player 0

Posted on October 19, 2007 by dorisch

Planning on a weekend trip with the family? Long rides aboard buses or trains with children can be especially challenging. Even the best behaved children will struggle with the monotony of being trapped in the same rail car or uncomfortable bus seat for hours. The simplest solution is to schedule the trip during the night, allowing the children to sleep during the trip; but that’s not always an option. It is always wise for parents to think ahead and be better prepared to deal with the challenges.

Thank God for technology. These days, the price of a high quality portable DVD player has dropped considerably. Mini CD players and hand-held video games will provide at least a few hours of entertainment for the kids (and peace and quiet for the parents). However, for those children too young for the gadgets, and for all children when the gadgets get boring or the batteries die, make sure to have other things on hand. But with a portable 10 inch DVD player, the 4-hours long lithium battery should do the job, otherwise, plug it into your cigarette lighter in the car. Nothing is more stressful than to be traveling with restless and tired kids so always get ready some good entertainment. Put in their favourite DVD or VCD and you are ready to go!

My first trip to the Grand Canyons was dated 15 years ago… I could only recall glimpses of this magnificent gorge now. When you travel with the whole family in tow, you are faced with a set challenges and opportunities. There are many things to consider, not least of which is where to go. But where else can you find the best time to form wonderful memories with family members than on a Grand Canyon family vacation? Read the rest of this entry →
