We set out with the best intentions for family travel — time away from work, meaningful bonding, and the excitement of exploring new places together.

But anyone who has traveled with children knows it isn’t always as relaxing as we imagine.

Packing and planning can feel overwhelming.
Routines change. Foods are different. Sleep happens in unfamiliar places.
Long car rides and flights test everyone’s patience.
Family dynamics become more complex.
And sometimes children simply don’t want to be away from home or their friends.

All of these changes can stir up big feelings — for children and for caregivers — and leave families wondering why a trip meant to bring everyone closer can feel so challenging.

In this class, we’ll explore why travel can be difficult for children from a developmental and emotional perspective, and how understanding what’s happening beneath the surface can transform your experience.

Drawing from years of traveling with my own children — camping, long road trips, flights, subways, extended family vacations, and solo adventures — I’ll share practical, tried-and-true strategies to help you:

• Prepare children (and yourself) before you leave
• Reduce stress during travel days
• Support regulation and flexibility away from home
• Navigate family dynamics with more ease
• Create trips that feel more connected, enjoyable, and memorable for everyone

Whether you’re planning a big vacation or a simple weekend away, you’ll leave with tools and confidence to make travel a more positive experience for your whole family.
