In this world full of problems and challenges, we can’t avoid but feel stressed almost every day of our lives.  Everyday we are faced with the troubles of rising prices, unending bills, lack of money, problems at work and for some even personal problems.  Then, we go home to take care of the household and kids who are always giving us a headache.  We easily get angry and irritated and we realize we need to breakaway from the tension and we declare to ourselves, “I need a vacation.”  

But then you can’t just leave your kids behind now can you?  Yes, you need a break and you plan on leaving them behind with your parents.  You don’t want them tagging along for they will only pester and cause you problems.  But shouldn’t you be taking this opportunity to spend some time with them and get to know them?  Before you know it they may be all grown up and you have missed the chance of spending quality time with them.

Bring your children along with you when you go on a vacation.  When you are on vacation with your kids, don’t just leave them to enjoy among themselves the different activities and then you and your spouse just go about your way also.  It is during this time that you are given the chance to have the time of day to bond with your kids and improve your relationship with them.  

I advise that you do activities together with them.  Take an active part during their play time.  Play with them.  If you are staying at some resort for example, take the time to swim with them or better yet teach them how to swim.  Make sand castles with them by the sea shore.  Engage in some sports like maybe tennis or volleyball or better yet teach them a game of golf.  They are never too young to learn something new.  Take the time to talk with them and find out what they like to do.   Allocate playing time with your kids.

Your children may be hard headed at times and may tend not to listen to your scolding.  Since you are on vacation give them a break too.  If their actions are unbearable don’t embarrass your kids by reprimanding them in front of other people.  Instead try talking to them when no one is around and make them understand why their actions are unacceptable.  

Take the opportunity to get close with your kids and bringing them along on your vacations will strengthen more the special relationship that you have with them.
