If asked what part of your child’s or teen’s body needs the most protection, your answer is likely to be the brain. That is why you buy bike helmets, think carefully about injuries during sports, and worry when your kids take a hard fall on the playground. Brain development is an especially important factor in learning throughout childhood and adolescence, which is why you may be surprised to learn that travel changes young brains in some fascinating ways, say experts.
What happens when parents travel abroad with kids and teens? Their still developing brains send and receive an extraordinary number of chemical and electrical messages that help strengthen thinking, memory, and emotional awareness. Every travel experience registers dramatically, and the impact of what children and teenagers learn is more profound when the destination is home to English-speaking people. In sum, taking kids and teens to Belize is the shortest, easiest, most affordable way to support brain growth, while expanding perspectives for the whole family!
Increase your child’s brainpower by choosing the right Belize resort
At Belizean Dreams Resort, your family can expect spacious villas, gourmet dining, opportunities to explore tours and onsite amenities, but the most impressive aspect of your stay is likely to be the care and nurturing young guests receive from the resort team members. You can tell this by the patience they exhibit—even when you’re not thrilled by your offspring’s behavior!
Moms and dads appreciate having two all inclusive package options that help lower the overall cost of a stay while covering everyone’s needs, so parents, kids, and teens can focus on enjoying the adventure together. While you’re the final authority on which onsite activities and tours are appropriate for your child’s age and maturity levels, a stay at Belizean Dreams offers kids opportunities to exert their independence, especially if you let them help choose activities that appeal to their curiosity.
How to immerse everyone in Belize’s cultural scene
Savvy parents say that prepping for a family getaway is one of the smartest moves you can make. One way to do that is to search for books about Belize’s culture. Books can be expensive, so check out Thriftbooks where pre-owned books devoted to all things cultural within this warm and welcoming nation can be found.
As your youngsters explore the books you choose, take notes so you can make sure your Belizean Dreams hosts can help you create an itinerary that includes your family’s favorites. Once you all arrive at Belizean Dreams, everything from the beachfront to the ethnic culinary and cultural scenes explored in the nearby town of Hopkins will trigger chemical reactions that occur when young brains are stimulated.
And if your budget could benefit from some stimulation, too, ask your host about discounted stays that help make your stay even more affordable. Your family vacation is sure to stimulate your child or teen’s brain, and yours, too. You might say that at this family-friendly resort, there’s something enriching for everyone!
