\nWhen looking at where to go and where to stay, speak to your kids separately, showing them that you are taking the time to find out what they would enjoy the most. Ask them for suggestions and (where the suggestions are reasonable) show them how you have implemented them. This will allow the whole family to feel involved and excited, rather than stubborn and dismissive.<\/p>\n

\nThe youngest wants a water park, the oldest wants to go shopping and your partner simply wants a bar overlooking the ocean. Create a plan for each day of your holiday and remind everyone when their chosen activities will take place. Try not to dominate an entire section of your holiday with a particular age group\u2019s activity (it doesn\u2019t tend to end well!).<\/p>\n
\nBeing in a different environment and spending more time together than you would at home is both wonderful and stressful. Dedicate some time each day to wind down and don\u2019t be discouraged if a few family members want to go for a walk alone or avoid interaction. Once everyone is recharged, the fun can resume.<\/p>\n
\nWhen a group of teens wander past the pool, parent-free, it\u2019s easy to think \u201cthank goodness\u201d and shovel off your eldest to \u201cgo and make friends!\u201d. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not always that easy and can stress them out. Try to encourage them with words like \u201capparently they have videogames in the teens club, you could go and have a look if you want\u201d, rather than \u201cI\u2019ve signed you up for 4 classes today, your dad and I will see you at 8pm\u201d\u2026 Which is quite possibly the plan we would prefer!<\/p>\n
\nThe energetic ones are usually at their happiest when occupied with an array of exciting activities that they wouldn\u2019t usually experience at home. For this reason, it\u2019s natural to feel a little left out when they are at the kid\u2019s club from sunrise to sunset. Show an interest in what they are creating and ask about their day, creating valuable family time when you all get together again.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/familyholidayscompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Family-Holiday.jpg\")
