Is a big trip with your toddler worth it? What memory experts say.
And even though explicit memories of a trip might fade, psychoanalyst Claudia Luiz stresses the importance of “implicit memories,” which are formed subconsciously and are completely impressionistic. “Implicit memories get registered in the brain differently,” she says. “Instead of going into a memory bank, they set neuronal pathways that determine our future experiences.”
“Parents often ask their child if they’re excited to go to a particular place without realizing that their child hasn’t been there before and doesn’t really know what to expect,” says Melanie English, a licensed clinical psychologist in Seattle who often works with families. She suggests preparing children for a new-to-them destination by reading books and watching videos about the landscapes, people and animals they might encounter during their trip.
Sproat also emphasizes the importance of play and connection during a trip. “Children learn best through play,” she says. “And they want connection over anything else.” She advises parents to pay close attention to the facial expressions of their young children to notice what catches their attention, then label it and discuss what they see or experience .
Tom Merchant, whose travel company Black Tomato has planned numerous bucket-list trips for families with young children, makes sure that their trips remain both manageable and memorable and suggests choosing a destination with an inherent “wow” factor young children are more apt to remember. “We organize experiences that can be done in a short time frame so that a child’s wonder is maintained,” he says.
