Family Vacations Are More Important Than Gifts & Toys
If there is more money, parents must never forget to spend it for children. Often, if we ask them questions, they must choose the game, right? But, do you know that family holidays are actually more meaningful and important to them?
Apparently, there have been numerous studies conducted to prove this fact. Among them were the Psychology Today, Daily Worth, and The Telegraph website. All of these reports support that travel experiences and time spent with families are more worthwhile than games that are given to children.
CHILDREN'S MEMORY
According to psychologist Oliver James, through The Telegraph, a family holiday is considered as a fun one in a child. In fact, they find that this memory will be kept for a long time in their memory.
Wonderful moments like sharing ice cream, joking with parents, and funny happenings are something that will be wonderful and unique. Therefore, instead of games, parents should invest their money for a holiday.
Our Child Can Create Happy Childhood Memories
As a parent, you have a wonderful memory of going to vacation with your mom, dad and other siblings as a kid. So, it's important that you make the same thing with your family members right now.
According to a study conducted by the Family Holiday Association in the United Kingdom, nearly half of Britons, 49% of those taking the study, stated that the most beautiful memory in their life is memory of going on vacation with family members.
If not now you are bringing the kids away on vacation and having fun, when? They grow faster and soon, will leave your home either to dorms, work or get married!
Improve Physical Fitness of Children
You noticed that if someone was sick and then taken out for a walk (though not far from home), his health and mood would improve. This effect will also be felt by the children who are traveling on vacation with their parents.
There are scientific studies conducted by the University of Michigan in the United States which show that walking with loved ones in beautiful surroundings, such as forests, can calm the mind, stop mental stress or depression, lower blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol levels in the body!
With this research, do not hesitate to plan your holidays with children for this upcoming school holiday. Bring your parents (grandmother and grandmother) as they can also give them health benefits!
Reducing Hyperactive Children
If you have hyperactive children or diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) disease, going on a vacation is one of the easiest methods of treatment you can do.
It not only fosters relationships between parents but can help increase your child's attention and focus. Hard to believe right?
There is a study by Frances E. Kuo (PhD) and published in the medical journal that green-minded nature can reduce hyperactive in children.
Producing a Positive and Joyful Child
Another scientific reason why you need to bring your child away for vacation is that it is a fun family holiday that will trigger the production of neurochemical materials that are beneficial to your child's brain.
Oxytocin, dopamine, and opioid are some of the neurochemicals that will be triggered during the holiday and it will give your child a happy feeling.
It also reduces the sense of stress from their minds and gives them a sense of calm. According to Professor Jaak, the more neurochemicals are triggered, the more it becomes part of the child's personality and character.
The happening of the holidays every year will surely produce a child, not only smart and healthy, but always positive and happy. According to a neuroscientist, Bruce Perry, one's emotional state will be his personality too!
If you want to know, going on a vacation with children is not only fun, it can also help with the development of his mind and emotions.
