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.

    I was heartbroken and felt utterly betrayed when I discovered that the person I trusted on TikTok was a scammer. I had invested £48,800 in Bitcoin based on their advice, believing it was a sound investment and a way to build a connection. But when the truth came out, thanks to my son’s diligence, I realized I’d been deceived. The feeling of being duped and manipulated was overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I discovered Cyber Constable Intelligence. They stepped in and worked tirelessly to track down the scammer and recover my stolen funds. Their expertise in cryptocurrency forensics and blockchain analysis was invaluable. They kept me informed throughout the process, explaining every step and providing updates on their progress. Their exceptional support and guidance were a lifeline during a very difficult time. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to recover my entire investment. I’m grateful for their professionalism and expertise, and I highly recommend Cyber Constable Intelligence to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams or theft. They truly are the experts you need in a crisis. Their services can be a game-changer for those who have been scammed, and I’m living proof of that.
