Kids Summer Attractions – Why to Take Your Child to an Educational Trip?

Monday, November 5, 2012
We all know that education is extremely important for our children and we strive hard to provide them the best we can afford. However, formal education is not enough for transforming a child into an intelligent, responsible citizen. He has a lot to learn from seeing, touching, feeling, hearing and smelling the Mother Nature. Contrary to what many parents believe, your child need not have supernatural memory or an IQ equal to Albert Einstein to succeed in life, but good manners, communication skills and common sense can work wonders in a child’s life.

You can see many examples for this in real life. Out of the 40 young achievers under 40, a list published by Fortune Magazine, there were only a few entrepreneurs that can be regarded as highly intelligent in terms of IQ. For arguments sake, we can say that the founders of Google and Facebook are highly intelligent people and possess an above average IQ. Although, these highly intelligent people made it to the top of the list, the other 38 are still normal people and did not possess any extraordinary intelligence.

What Children Need Is Knowledge

Knowledge, especially practical knowledge can work wonders in a child’s life. Our children learn a lot from us parents. They observe and learn how we deal with situations when we are happy or stressed out, how we respond to tensed situations and handle a crisis. A parent’s problem solving skills and reading habits are often passed on to their children because children consider their parents to be role models and they want to follow what their role models do. Although, children have the incredible capability of learning a lot from their parents, we should develop good habits in them from their young age.

Developing reading habits is a very important thing to do but buying a couple of children’s books and pushing them to read it may not work out. Instead, a parent should try to find a cause that will stir up their child to read a book. Our children need to learn about industries, animals, space and technology. The best way to educate your children about these fascinating things in life is taking them to a field trip to the relevant industry. Researchers have agreed that humans do not know about oceans as much as they do about space. Educating your children about marine life has a very important place in their overall wellbeing and educational growth. The best way to teach them about ocean is taking them to a field trip to a good aquarium like Vista Life and buying them some relevant books that will help them with the study.
