[quote=Anonymous]I'm gonna put it in perspective on traveling abroad with kids under age 6. It's hard for the parents.  If your kid is easy awesome. But for the rest of us, your kid will be interested in the world whether or not they travel.  It's a nature thing it is not because you took him to Paris at age 3.  To wit: I think I had seen about 1/2 the world by 14. We travelled tons. I remember nothing. I do recall studying abroad the summer before college with a university and that was when the travel bug hit me.  I speak 4 languages nothing in traveling before age 17 enabled me to do so however.  I say - go if you want.  Do not go because you somehow think your kid will benefit and become gifted because you were smart enough to take them to 10 countries before age 10.  My own kids are well travelled. Does it make any difference in them? Only that my 13 yr old is 100% dead set on staying in the US for college or post grad.  My 15 yr old loves to see new things but whether we do or not, it doesn't change that he enjoys it.  But hey at age 3 he hated Mexico so much we flew home early!!!  lol

So please, travel because you want to travel. Go where you want. Not because it's the cool place or for your kids' development or anything else except just your desire to go to a specific destination.  Enjoy it. Love it and don't sweat the small stuff.  Be grateful you get to do whatever you want because so many people don't have the opportunity.  There's so many beautiful places on earth, choose a lovely place and enjoy![/quote]
