Hi Michele,
During the holidays, our family is spending time in Wales, where there is lots of hiking and outdoor activities.
Our children always roll their eyes when we tell them we are going hiking for the day. They do not want to go. But I don’t want to leave them behind on one of these journeys while we are on holiday.
Advice?

Hi Janine,
We all do have to do things we don’t want to do, even when on holidays.
Explain to your children that when your family is travelling there will be days when they will be asked to participate in things that are important to you and there will be days where they can choose the activity, which may not be of interest to you.
It is important for children to understand that sometimes we do things for the people we care about because it is important to them, not because it just happens that we want to do it anyway.
Activities such as a family hiking day can be followed by a day doing something that the children choose.
