Vacations are the best time when all the family members get
together to enjoy each other company and spend quality time together. It is the
time we can come more close to each other and keep our work aside and devote
our time to enjoy with family members. Vacations are win-win situation for
everyone as it involves lot of excitement, fun, and relaxation and explore
different locations.
For parents, it helps in strong bonding between husband and wife and
sorting out their relationship. In the present scenario, life has become more
complex with rising prices, inflation and increase in working office hours for
parents. Children life has been affected too and present generation is more
tech savvy and engaged in computer games. They prefer virtual environment and computer
games over meeting each other or playing outside. In such situations, vacations
have become a need of hour as parents are constantly pushing their kids to go
out and play in open rather than sitting in front of idiot box or engaging over
digital platform. As a parent, I feel vacations should be made mandatory for
children at least once in a year. It could be short trip to nearby famous
tourist places or could be a two days trip depending on the parent.
Vacations offer many advantages for children as they can learn
about the destination, their culture and as try different food and gain knowledge.
It gives them practical exposure which they can sense and feel it. For instance,
while reading about Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, they
would be able to recollect from their memories about its existence and about
Mughal history. As a parent, I want my kids to enjoy as well as learn at same
time during the vacation time. This can be done by planning the vacation in
advance and choosing the right destination which could inspire my child. Some
of the ways I can make it interesting for them could be by-
1. Wildlife Safari Adventure
As a parent, I want my child to be strong and give him a vacation
experience by taking him to national parks and zoo. This could be Corbett
National park which offers stay at the resort as well as jungle safari. It will
help him to stay close to the nature and he can see different animals and also
have a camel or elephant ride.
2. Sand, Sea and Beaches
I want my kid to get hands on experience catching fishes and
indulging in water sports activities. This is ultimate fun as my child can
learn to swim and also be naughty at times by throwing water and play beach
games with me.Goa and beaches in Kerala are perfect destinations when it comes
to beaches for me.
3. Visit to Hills station
When I was a child, my parents used to take me to hill station
like Shimla during my summer vacations. I still remember first time I had snow
in my hand and fighting with my brother. Those were the golden days of my life.
As a parent, I feel a trip to hills is the best during the summer vacation as
one can enjoy cold weather and escape the heat. For child, hills offer toy
train ride, ability to ride in rope way and experience campfire in the night.
Hills bring you close to the nature and environment.
I feel vacations should be such which help children to come out of
the shell and give them a much needed break. They should be combination of entertainment,
fun and leisure.
