As parents, we don’t want to keep telling our children that when we were young, we were out and about all the time. Times have changed and so technology influences how children spend their time nowadays. It is up to you as their guardian to show them what they are missing and to make them more aware of the great outdoors. It has always been there waiting for them and it is up to you to get them excited about it.
One way to do that is to make it more attractive for them to travel with you into the countryside and not very many kids want to sleep in a tent and they make excuses as to why they don’t want to go. You can change things by taking advantage of campers for sale in Brisbane that will allow you to take them on the road less travelled but with a level of comfort provided for them as well. You will have your work set up for you and therefore, the following are some of the reasons to convince your children why they need to explore the great outdoors here in Australia.
- It reduces stress levels – Both kids and adults suffer from stress and anxiety due to the very busy lifestyles that they currently have. Your kids have school to go to, homework to complete and all the while they have to keep up with their social profile online. By explaining to them that travelling to the outdoors is an excellent opportunity to go on a hike or to have an outdoor adventure, it will help to reduce their stress levels which can only have positive effects.
- It gets them away from technology – Internet is readily available in every town and city across the country and especially so in the Brisbane area. As you go out into the countryside, the Internet may not be as good as your kids would like and this is actually a good thing. Kids are so influenced by what is happening on social media and other websites. As the parent, it is your job to get them away from this kind of technology if only for a few days.
- There is so much to see & do – Australian kids are unaware of how much fun can be had when travelling on the road for a bank holiday weekend. There is lots to see and do out there and it is your job as the adult to show them exactly what they can get up to that will be much better than spending hours on an iPad or other digital device. Doing simple things like paddling in a mountain stream or just walking barefoot on the grass is an experience everyone should have.
The key to all of this working however, is to provide your children with an incentive to go travelling into the great outdoors. Investing in a camper is money very well spent and it does change your kid’s lives.
