our lives!
If you are confused about the title, this is what Pradeep Kumar from TravelTear (Slashsquare) says, "Before talking about traveling, I feel I should speak about schooling and education. Life is hectic, both for you and your children. You go to your job and miss your children. Your children go to school and miss their families. The only proper bonding you will have is during your family dinner if you still have something like that. There should be a proper time for you and your child to bond, maybe not at home or school, but someplace far away from the fancy buildings around you, perhaps something colorful and natural."
Children these days study a lot; they work hard to score high marks. Sometimes the only thing they do when they reach their home is to open their books and do their homework or study for
their exams. Then sleep, wake up, have a forced breakfast, and go to school — the cycle repeats.
The TravelTear founder says you need to give your child a memorable vacation whenever possible. Let it be a weekend, a festival or a school break. You, as a parent, should sacrifice your schedule and spend time with your family. Pradeep runs a group of successful communities and this is something he indirectly surveyed for the past few years.
The most important thing is, this is not just for the parents alone; if you are a teacher, then this is equally your responsible. You become a parent when you take care of the kids in your school.
You should plan frequent excursions and industrial visits as well. When a child sees something in a textbook, or even in a video, he/she will build their own beautiful painting on their mind. You
should definitely give them the opportunity to compare that with reality.
The best part about the whole thing is, traveling actually helps them a lot to study well academically. It will have a positive impact on them. When you travel to a new country, you will understand their language, their tradition, their culture, and last but not least, humanity.
"Most of us are in the cities for our job or education, so one must always allocate time for visiting our native place with our family. It does not matter if you do't get a mobile network, it doesn't matter if you can't have a lavish lifestyle, do not worry about all that. Your kids should see the place you grew up, to understand how it was before. Show them your old bicycle, take them to the river you used to take a bath, give them your favorite childhood snack, it just goes on. Every child should experience this," Pradeep said.
Kids who have a fixed timetable running between their school and home will have a hard time adjusting to the reality out there. This is the undeniable truth. Travel with them to a new place,
meet farmers, artists, chefs, etc. This helps them to see the world in a much better perspective.
