It’s a common misconception that our kid’s educational capacities become somewhat stunted over the summer vacation, and that taking them away with us provides them merely with a happy escape from school, and that’s it. But as it so happens, the reality may be completely different, with research showing that kids who travel with their families, often show improved cognitive growth compared to those kids who don’t vacation. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to parenting, but it’s safe to say that most of the decisions we make as adults on behalf of our kids, are for their intended benefit and wellbeing. Some parents may choose to take a vacation with their kids because they feel it will enrich theirlives, while others prefer to make it an adults’ only time so that they can connect on a grown-up level with their partner or loved one. Neither one is wrong; some parents may feel proud of the fact that their children go everywhere with them, others may feel guilty at the thought of leaving them behind, while some may relish time away from their kids on a temporary basis.
