It includes two sets of prompts for 10 days trips and two sets for shorter, four day trips.

Conversation about what is going through their minds and what they think about what we’re doing while traveling can be tricky. I considered what they get excited to talk about and what topics are like pulling teeth.Īs a dad, something I want to understand with my kids more than anything is what makes them happy and piques their interest. When I started to write the prompts for the Ultimate Travel Journal for Kids I had to think about the questions I ask the boys when we’re traveling or when we’ve been apart for a few days.
