“Parent’s” magazine has been dispensing advice for decades, so when writers like Hollee Actman Becker are given opportunities to see how family members benefit from taking vacations together, she put her own kids on a plane to test the theory. They flew south. On their return flight, her kids’ eyes sparkled as they asked, “When are we going again?”.
The glow in their eyes was no accident. It’s the look kids get when they’ve been pried away from electronics devices and delivered to a beautiful place where television pales in comparison to marine life of a great barrier reef. Staff at Chabil Mar Resort in Placencia, Belize are familiar with that look. That’s why they have carefully crafted family vacation packages designed to suit people of all ages and interests.
Family vacations up a family’s HQ (Happiness Quotient)
British child psychologist Oliver James states, “Family holidays are valued by children, both in the moment and for long afterward in their memory.” He says that traveling boosts a child’s brain development thanks to sensory experiences (like sailing, diving, experiencing wildlife in their own habitats) and cultural ones (meeting people with diverse backgrounds, beliefs, practices, and even foods).
Dr. Margot Sunderland agrees. She says family vacations are “associated with higher IQ in children,” so a trip to Belize could make your kids smarter while you and your spouse get the respite you need. How smart? Find out for yourself by coming to Chabil Mar where recreational opportunities are everywhere you turn.
Oh, the places you’ll see!
-Stroll Placencia Village so the kids learn about Belizean culture—no geography class substitutes.
-Visit ancient Mayan Ruins, some of which contain the skeletal remains of sacrificial victims.
-No kid takes a Belize chocolate tour pass where parents say yes to sampling.
