If you’re at the point in your family life that your teenager is preparing to start university, then no doubt you will all be feeling very excited and nervous. There will be plenty of things to prepare in terms of practicalities with their course and their accommodation. As well as this, there are topics of conversation that you should be having with them before they head off into the world.

Boring, Yet Practical Things

So many children and teenagers grow up with no concept of how things like rent, bills, bank accounts, and other practical concepts work. This is fair enough, but they do need to gain some knowledge on this before having to deal with it themselves. Just sit down and have some simple chats about these topics, using your own examples if it’s helpful. 

The Realities of University Life

While university is an exciting time in life, there are some unfavorable sides to it. Whether it’s difficult relationships with friends and partners or the dark side of partying, there are lots of potentially difficult situations that may arise. You may not want to think about this side of things, but it’s really important to acknowledge it and talk about it. This way they’ll feel able to talk to you about anything.

Traveling is a great way to bond with your kids and create memories together, but it can also be a great time for learning. Traveling will teach your kids many important life lessons, and your time on the road will be well spent if they learn how to grow and learn from it.

Patience

Traveling can be a stressful experience, even for grown-ups, and it will teach your kids to become more patient, as they deal with delayed flights and long lines at museums and amusement parks.

Problem-Solving & Adaptability

Your kids will learn how important it is to expect the unexpected when you’re traveling since things don’t always go according to plan. The way you react to unexpected situations will teach them how to become more adaptable and use their problem-solving skills.

Building Self-Esteem

Traveling can help your little ones work on their self-esteem because it will force them to become more independent as they learn to navigate unfamiliar places.

Appreciation for Different Cultures

One of the best things about traveling is that it will expose your kids to different cultures, teaching them to appreciate the rich tapestry of each new country they get to explore.

Gratitude & Empathy

Getting a front-row seat to different cultures will also help your kids develop respect and empathy for people whose lives are different to theirs and a sense of gratitude for things they already have.
