[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP who questions what she means and why at 4 this is something she's noticing or talking about. At 4 is she's gone in 4 vacations and maybe remembers 2 of them, [b]who is telling her she doesn't vacation enough[/b]? At that age vacation was exciting to me because we got to bring sugary cereal in a cooler and swim in a hotel pool.

Reinforce your families expectations when she talks about it "we'll plan a nice trip for next summer."

Meanwhile, maybe she does enjoy adventures and new activities. Figure out what those activities are and plan fun day trips - hiking with a picnic, museum with a stop for ice cream, local pool etc. [/quote]

By 4 my kids were well aware of what friends at school were doing in terms of travel. People in this area seem to travel a LOT and kids come to school with stories about the Bahamas and Disney and Europe and everywhere else. [/quote]

Absolutely they are very aware and come home with stories of friends and naming places. The good thing is that age they don't have any sense of what's exotic or exciting or fancy so our 4yo thought Delaware was on par with Hawaii :)

They also just notice friends being gone from school and that is probably what they envy the most (kid getting to be home/away with family).[/quote]
