Vacations are a precious time to spend as a family and create moments that will become lifelong memories. However, many times we find ourselves without ideas on what to do with our children to make the time together really meaningful and fun. Don't worry! From Fundación Jera, we have created a toolbox full of activities and recommendations specially designed for parents and children to enjoy these vacations to the fullest.
Why is it important to spend quality time with our children?
Spending time with our children not only strengthens family bonds, but also:
- Promotes emotional and social development: Children learn to express their emotions and relate to others in a healthy way.
- Stimulates creativity and learning: Playful and educational activities promote curiosity and the desire to learn.
- Create lasting memories: Shared experiences become memories that children will treasure throughout their lives.

Tips for a successful vacation
In addition to the activities, here are some tips to make sure your vacation is a success:
- Plan ahead: Take time to plan the activities you want to do as a family and make sure you have everything you need to carry them out.
- Listen to your children: Ask them what they would like to do and try to include their interests in planning activities.
- Create a balance: Alternate between structured activities and free time so that children also have the opportunity to relax and enjoy their time in their own way.
- Disconnect from technology: Make an effort to reduce the use of electronic devices and focus on face-to-face interaction with your children.
We hope you enjoy a wonderful vacation with your children! 💙
