Kidventures Family Travel Podcast - Episode 14: Kids clubs

02/15/20 • 27 min

Would you put your kids in a kids' club? For some parents - and kids! - it's a highlight of the holiday, for others it defeats the point of family travel. The Kidventures family travel podcast hosts look at the pros and cons of holidays with kids clubs, and how to choose one.
Cathy and Ting discuss the things to know before you travel, what to look out for in a kids club, especially if you're travelling with younger kids, and what questions you need to ask. We share our stories of when kids clubs have gone really really right (and how you persuade your child to leave and actually spend time with you again!) and the times we really don't want to repeat.
From fantastic educational activities and coral planting to X-Boxes and late-night movies, there's a huge variety out there - not to mention a few less enticing options with a bit of colouring in a windowless room. Paid, unpaid, drop-in or quickly booked up, here's our advice to navigate what can be a family travel minefield.

Kidventures Family Travel Podcast - Episode 15: Fussy eaters and travel

Who's wished their kids would eat anything? There's no question that finding food your kids love can be tricky enough at home - let alone when you're travelling. In this episode, the Kidventures family travel podcast hosts are joined by Emily Leary, author of Get Your Kids to Eat Anything and blogger behind A Mummy Too, to get tips on helping kids to try new things and making food a fun - not stressful - part of travel.
We chat about everything from why kids love to say 'NO' to whatever's put in front of them, why getting hands on or heading off the beaten track can help, and why encouraging kids to try different food works in a similar way to potty training or sleep training. And if the proof of the pudding is in the eating, as a result of the podcast's tips, Cathy even managed to get her rather picky daughter to eat curry...!
