Why Travel With Kids Even If They Won’t Even Remember It?

By experiences not stuff

 

 

People always used to ask us, when our gingers Rainer & Atticus were tiny tots, “Why travel with your kids if they won’t even remember it?”

 We have always believed that even when the RAM of our brain cannot recall our nascent

experiences on planet Earth, our HARD DRIVE does. And so our kids simply never had a choice when it came to travel. By the time they were 4 and 6, respectively, they had already been to Spain, Mexico and a dozen states across the USA.

 

As Americans, one of the only things my wife and I feel unabashedly patriotic about is our National Park System (we have been to more than 200 of the 400+ units spread across

the nation). Before our boys were old enough to remember, they had stood at the base of the Lincoln Memorial, climbed Bubble Rock in Acadia, splashed in waves at

Fire Island National Seashore, and hiked through Joshua Tree National Park.

Today, when we ask Atticus, now 11, and Rainer, 13, if they recall some of those early trips and destinations, they often do not. Their brains remember, though, as neuro-pathways are etched by early experiences to form the people we become as fully conscious children and adults. Despite not recalling our early adventures, both boys became fully accustomed to travel and all that goes with it.

So many parents have complained to us that, by the time THEY are ready to travel with their children (because now they will “remember it” and the money won’t be

“wasted”) their KIDS aren’t ready for travel. They whine in the car, on the plane, and absolutely do not appreciate the process of being pushed out of their comfort zone. We say: all the more reason not to wait.

Analogy time: We read board books to both of our boys from the moment they could open their eyes. Could they read along? Do they remember those books? No. Did reading to and with them every day carve pathways of

literacy and connection into their brains? Yes. Is it a coincidence both boys were reading independently by the time they were three? We don’t think so.

 

These days, when we tell our boys we are going to Egypt in a few months, they raise their hands in triumph, then go on with whatever it was they were doing. When

our departure date rolls around, they know how to pack, what to bring, what to expect, how to manage wait times and unforeseen obstacles, and how to appreciate the small things and unique moments experienced along the way.

 

All that time we put in, traveling with them as infants and toddlers, pays off every time we step

out the door with these tall redheads who now have questions and interests of their own. The more they communicate about their travel likes and dislikes, too, the more we tailor our adventures to their needs.

 

Our advice? DO NOT WAIT!!! Take that trip whether your children will retain conscious memories or not. Travel whether you think the money will be “worth it” or not. We promise: it will be. You will all reap the rewards, both in the moment and far beyond.

    Losing cryptocurrency to a scam investment can be devastating, especially since recovering stolen or lost crypto is often seen as impossible. When scammed, many victims report the company to their wallet provider, bank, or law enforcement, while some even hire lawyers. Unfortunately, despite all the effort, they often don’t get their money back.

    However, if you’re in this situation and need to recover your cryptocurrency from fraudulent platforms, there’s an agency dedicated to helping victims. You can reach out to them for assistance by emailing: proassetrecoveryexpert@ gmail.com.

    It gladdens my heart to be out here to say a word of thank you to Dr Isikolo.  
    I never thought I would be able to see my marriage work again despite the fact that everything had already been working against me, Dr Isikolo came to my rescue. I had a problem in my home which made my husband left and I was already pregnant and it became difficult for me to cope without him in my life. His family supported me all along but no one could help reunite us back except Dr Isikolo who responded at the time I needed help the most. He got the problem fixed and my husband returned back home to me just after 48 hours because he was still living in the same city with me. It quite amazing when you find help where you least thought you can get help. Once again thank you Dr Isikolo for all you do to help people in dire need of assistance. text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or for more info, click on his website (https://isikolo-temple.com)

    I am a blockchain developer, and I recently faced one of the most challenging experiences of my career. I was scammed out of AUD 500,000, a significant amount that had been invested in what I believed to be a legitimate opportunity. It was a devastating blow, both financially and emotionally.

I had invested in a project that seemed credible, complete with a professional-looking website and reassuring communications. However, it turned out to be a well-orchestrated fraud. The scammers vanished with my money, leaving me with nothing but a sinking feeling and a growing sense of urgency. I tried various approaches to reclaim my funds, including contacting authorities and seeking advice from other professionals in the blockchain community.
