Single parents, Consider these 11 points when traveling with children
Holidays are troublesome for single parents. So if you are going on a trip with children, then pay attention to these things so that your journey is pleasant and happy.
Many times holidays scare single parents. Children want to have fun. They want to enjoy the holidays in their own way, while the problem of single parents is how to handle them alone, how to prepare for the journey. Although now in India too, the attention of some travel agencies has gone to this, so some good options are being thought of for single parents.
If you are going on a foreign trip, first get updated on your passport and the children. If the matter of separation or divorce is going on in the court and the child is in your custody then complete the necessary legal procedures before leaving the country, so that the future will not be disturbed.
Keep as much luggage in the journey so that you can carry it easily. In such a situation, the option of a backpack or trolleys is best. So children can carry them when needed.
If you are planning somewhere with children, then avoid going to some unknown or deserted place. Stay at hotels and resorts where people are seen. If you are booking through a travel agent, then get information about all these essential things from him.
Avoid shopping during trips. Because things found at Tourist Place are usually expensive. Much money is spent on buying them, as well as the weight of the bag also increases, which may be a problem for you to carry.
Carry all the necessary travel-related documents in your handbag, but keep the original documents in a safe place in the vehicle itself.
Keep the latest photograph of the child on the trip. Apart from this, keep a card with name and address written on it.
If your child has a health problem, then keep the necessary medicines or doctor’s prescription with you.
Keep complete information about the journey and the stops. Be sure to tell someone close where to stay on which day. Apart from cell phones, also give the phone number of the hotel or resort to your friends and close ones, so that they can be easily contacted when needed.
Avoid self-driving on a long journey. If you have to do this, get your car serviced 15-20 days in advance and keep all the necessary things in it.
Before leaving, explain the children well, how to handle emergency situations. This makes it a little easier to handle whatever the situation is.
Also keep in mind the risk during swimming pool, river rafting, water games. Unfortunately, many times criminals are active in tourist places, so keep a distance from unknown people and make children aware of this too.
