Traveling with Tweens and Teens: What Gets Easier, What Changes, and What They Still Need
Traveling with tweens and teens comes with more opinions, later mornings, and some of the funniest moments you'll share as a family.
In this episode of Travel with Kids, I'm sharing what I love about traveling with older kids, how our trips have changed, and what they still need even after they've outgrown strollers and nap schedules.
From carrying their own luggage to understanding the history behind the places we visit, there's so much to appreciate about this stage. And yes, you might actually get to relax a little, too!
In this episode, we're talking about:
• Why older kids make such fun travel companions.
• How their interests can make a destination more meaningful.
• Giving tweens and teens a voice in planning the trip.
• Adjusting your itinerary for kids who want to sleep in.
• The freedom that comes with kids who can entertain themselves on flights, road trips, and hotel breaks.
• Why afternoon downtime still matters, even when nobody needs a nap.
Whether you're already traveling with tweens and teens or wondering what family trips will look like as your kids grow, I hope this episode gives you something to look forward to.
