It's Best Not to Travel with Children Before the Age of 3, Otherwise Adults and Children Will Suffer
Text by: Mom of Cotton
Now traveling has become a trend, more importantly, it is a symbol of improving living standards. Flip through major online platforms, parent-child tours have also become popular, and dads and moms hope to take their children to experience different scenery and provide children with life experience and spiritual wealth. However, when taking children on trips, it is best not to do so before this age, otherwise adults and children will suffer a lot.
Don't take children out before they are three years old, otherwise adults and children will suffer a lot.
01, It is easy to have water and food poisoning
Grandma often sighs: After three winters and three summers, a child is considered a baby. Grandma says that at that time, many children died early, but after the child lived to be 3 years old, they were safe.
That's the case in that era, medical standards were low, and children's resistance and adaptability were poor. Once they got sick, three depended on treatment, and seven depended on perseverance. Therefore, in the past, there was such a saying.
This is why you must wait until a child is 3 years old to take them on trips. Before this age, children have poor adaptability, and when they go to unfamiliar environments, they are easily prone to water and food poisoning.
02, Children sleep a lot
As children get older, they need more sleep. Newborns need 16 or 17 hours of sleep a day. As babies grow up, their sleep time will decrease, but they will still nap during the day. When traveling, it consumes a lot of energy. If the child is tired, they will be more sluggish.
My baby was tired when I took him to the aquarium, even though it was just in the city, the driving distance was very short, but he was still tired and fell asleep before seeing the dolphin show. Then I took him home.
So, if you take children on trips too early, they will easily be exhausted from lack of sleep and physical weakness.
03, Easy to get sick
Children have weak resistance. If you take children on long trips, they can't adapt to the environment, especially when traveling is tiring, the journey is bumpy, and the schedule is irregular, it's easy for children to get sick.
Last year, a mom took her baby to the south for a trip, and she got a cold after returning. She took medicine for more than a week. Originally, adults were very tired after returning from the trip, but they had to take care of the baby, go to the hospital for treatment, pick up medicine, and feed the baby. It took more than a week. The mom sighed: I won't take my child on trips again.
Therefore, it's not a matter of doing things early. Children are young, and their resistance is weak. Taking children on trips will cause suffering for both parents and children.
Children can go to kindergarten after 3 years old. Their adaptability and independence have improved at this time. It's a good experience to take children on trips at this time. They can understand what their mothers say and understand the scenery. Going out to see different customs and cultures is a good experience for children.
However, even when children are 3 years old, moms must pay attention. They must take care of the child carefully, especially when they are outside, they must not let the child leave their sight because once something happens, it's irreversible.
In addition, when traveling, bring commonly used medicines such as fever reducers, in case the child suddenly gets sick and cannot find a hospital in time.
