Eager to travel with your teens? Planning together can make for a good time had by all. Talk through your budget parameters as part of the learning curve. Once you all have agreed on a plan, encourage your teen to pack accordingly.
Let your teen know how much you and other family members, especially grandparents, value the time together.
While you and other family members or fellow travellers might want to be first on the trail or in line at the theme park, museum or city tour, remember that if your teen is a fan of sleeping in and staying up late at home, the habit is not likely to disappear while on holiday.
At different life stages, you and your teens are likely to have varied interests. Talk through the options for transportation, dining, activities and lodging. Define the sticking points and agree to disagree on some items.
Use travel as an opportunity to introduce your young travel companion to new experiences.
