A Road Trip Is a Fun Way to Reconnect With Your Kids: 4 Tips From a Mom Who's Done It by Jan Mostrom
Years ago I was blessed to take a road trip with my youngest daughter. She had just finished her sophomore year of college out of state, and I was yearning to catch up and spend some dedicated time with her before her summer internship. The road trip was a fantastic way to reconnect and one I'll never forget!
Here some of our suggestions for a great time on a road trip to reconnect with your kids or other loved ones:
- Be spontaneous! So many of our best stories happened because we had no set plans.
- Don't use devices, except for great music. It ended up we had little or no cell service so we just went with it, talked to locals and found plenty of fun "off the grid."
- Don't use the time for "serious" life talks or conversations. Relax and see what topics happen naturally.
- Journal about it and create a photo book of memories.
Most of all, just relax and enjoy this time with your (almost) grown child.
Here are some ultra-scenic roads trips in the U.S. and 13 epic cross-country road trips.
