With a child abroad: remember the nuances
November 16, 2011
What is a holiday for adults, for children can be a very difficult undertaking, so it is always necessary to consider the child's age and interests. If you solve the problem with the child on a trip abroad, you need to think about a few moments.
Choose a holiday country
If the family is thinking about a trip with your child, then you need to plan for it, based on the fact that she was interested in him. Younger children enjoy a beach holiday that is well organized in Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Bulgaria, Spain and Italy. Very well, if the hotel has the opportunity to take advantage of babysitting services, while parents can relax more fully.
Preschoolers also nice to relax by the sea, but you need to choose the hotel organized a children's area, where there are children's pool with slides, sandpit, swing. It is desirable that a children's animators who do not give a miss to children from 4 to 10 years, organizing for them all sorts of games and entertainment.
Children older than 10 years have can share hobbies and parents to have fun, not only from a beach holiday, but also visiting various excursions, or traveling by bus. With such children can safely go to Europe to see the sights particular country or even several countries during the bus trip. Thus it is necessary to see to it that during the trip necessarily alternated days with a rich program with periods of relaxation.
Legal aspects
Travel abroad with your family is usually not accompanied by problems, the main thing was that for all documents, and the child - Registration of passports. If the child is traveling with one parent, many countries require the presence of legally certified authorization for the trip from the other parent, without which the journey will end at the border. If the child is traveling with other people, you will need a permit from both parents. Resolution notary prepares and certifies it. It usually operates on one trip, especially in Europe.
Prepares documents for international travel is possible through the tour desk and yourself. Both options have their pros and cons, many people prefer to monitor the situation with a trip entirely and stop at the second option. Thus it is necessary to submit documents in advance to avoid unnecessary anxiety before the trip.
It is necessary to think about security
Before going abroad, you need to think about how to collect the most complete first-aid kit, as there may not be the usual drugs and experimenting on new child - a risky business. So clearly, in the list, you have to be equipped with a first aid kit, and let it remain intact better than something is not enough. For security concerns, and design a health insurance policy, which many try to save money. Saving three dollars, you can get a lot of trouble, so it's best to purchase a policy with good coverage of all medical costs if necessary, and go quietly.
We must be aware of the climatic conditions of the country and to take appropriate clothes in the extended range, in the event of the vagaries of nature.
If you plan a trip to an exotic country - Think about nutrition, because children up to 6 - 8 years is not advisable to use an unfamiliar food for them - it is fraught with the emergence of intestinal disorders. In such countries, it is necessary to buy clean water in the shops, and it may result in substantial financial losses, which are better to lay in advance. From exotic countries, people often come back infected with various parasites, so be sure to learn the rules of security in the country, which are going to visit and strictly follow them. For example, in some countries you can not walk on the beach barefoot, and he - of white sand - how to stay? Just remember that in the sand live parasites that penetrate into the bloodstream through the sole of the foot, and then a very long time treated at the Institute of Parasitology of return.
Choose carefully to rest, consider all the nuances and enjoy the trip.

With a baby on the sea: the main thing - preparation
December 9, 2011
For a year, many people live in anticipation of the holiday by the sea, but if childless just think about what to put in the bags, the parents are planning a vacation with children, solve the problem of comfort not only to themselves but also to the child. As a result, the preparation takes a lot of time, but there are no little things: the better prepared, the more likely that the trip will be remembered for the pleasant moments, not a succession of emergencies.
We think about the way
To get to the sea - you need to get there by car, train or plane. What kind of transportation to choose - depends entirely on the parents and the child, each has its pros and cons, it is worth mentioning.
On the car ride long enough. The child is in a confined space, how comfortable it will be - it depends on the age. If a child under one year, it's likely he will not even notice trip disposable diapers, and my mother's breasts will provide the usual comfort. If the baby is bottle-fed, the parents will have to take care of sufficient quantities of clean bottles and boiled water, power, not subject to deterioration.
Children of middle age is better to entertain a variety of games, and every two hours to make stops about half an hour to allow them to throw out their activity - to run and eat.
Older children traveling in the car is transferred well enough as it is the usual mode of transport for them, where they feel at home.
The trip on the train turns long enough, and parents do not have the ability to stop its movement, so you need to prepare for it very carefully.
Take enough food and water, hygiene, stock up on plenty of wet wipes, disposable diapers for younger. Older children get familiar pot - it will greatly facilitate life.
Prepare entertainment for children: take a variety of desirable new toys, new books, that would be interesting, DVD player or laptop with good battery, enough to at least a few hours of viewing. If the child is older, you can take the board games or books.
If you are traveling by plane, the time spent on the road, is greatly reduced, but we should not forget about the hours waiting at the airport when needed, and also food and water, and entertainment.
We think of the sea
To rest on the sea a success, you need to follow two simple rules: respect the safety and organize the rest so that all family members feel comfortable.
By the safety regulations we put the availability of first aid kits, assembled on all possible cases, taking into account the "favorite" family disease, and, of course, be sure to include a means to stop the bleeding, antiseptics (Zelenka), antipyretics (Nurofen and Panadol - taking into account the the child's age), a tool that will help with diarrhea
Diarrhea (diarrhea) - a familiar nuisance
(Smecta, Imodium, Enterofuril). If you stay in the country, the rest will be available if needed when going abroad, it is best to grab more and reliable antibiotic
Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future?
And a proven remedy for coughs.
Be sure to bring sunscreen, taking into account the child's age, in sufficient numbers, remember that the rays of the sun near the sea are very active, so you can burn, even in the shade, use sunscreen should be for the whole period of stay by the sea.
If your child rides a young age - no more than would an inflatable pool, which can be installed in the shadows, away from the mass of people that will make your stay more comfortable. Older children do not like to sit all day on the beach, so we need to diversify their vacation trips in the organized or individual tours, the best mode "in a day" - spending a day at the beach, and the next - on the trip.
If properly organized vacation begins as soon as you close the door of the house.
