Traveling with Children

Allison Sodha

In the March edition of our newsletter, The Sodha Traveler, I discuss the benefits of traveling with children. Textbooks are important resources but can limit the personal experiences that create global citizens. Traveling encourages children to develop personal connections and nurtures their desire to explore. It can also build confidence and teach tolerance, patience, communication, adaptability, and diversity.

Traveling with children also requires planning, and here is a list of resources to assist with your kid-friendly journey:
