Traveling with kids needs to be well-prepared, here are some practical checklists:
Clothing and shoes: Bring enough clothes and shoes for your kids according to the schedule and weather conditions. It is best to check the weather forecast before traveling and prepare accordingly.
Medical supplies: Don't forget to bring along commonly used medicines, painkillers, and common medical supplies such as disinfectant and bandages.
Child carriages and carriers: If you are planning many walking tours or hiking trips, consider bringing a stroller or baby carrier so that the children can rest during the trip.
Food and water: especially if you are traveling away from cities and commercial areas, make sure that the food and drinking water are of good quality and safe.
Games and toys: Bringing along your child's favorite games and toys will help them pass the time on the road and will make it more fun and enjoyable.
Electronics and screen time: While prolonged immersion in screens is not good for children's eyes and bodies, sometimes children's patience is very limited on the road, and providing a few mobile devices and electronics can be an emergency or temporary help in certain situations.
In addition to the list mentioned above, it's important to know about local transportation, dining, and kid-friendly activities!
Also, discussing with your kids about the destinations and activities they are interested in and whether they would like to participate in them before planning the trip can be an effective way to promote communication and understanding among family members and maintain family harmony and closeness during the trip.
