In the previous years, many parents perhaps would be reluctant to avail single parent holidays, considering the inconvenience and danger it poses for both a parent and a child.
Without having someone to assist a lone parent in watching over his or her child especially in a possibly new and uncontrolled environment such as the beach or somewhere out of town, it can certainly be tough and exhausting.
There is also the concern of the single parent that his or her child may feel out of place where most children usually spend time with both parents. It is reasonable that a parent might feel somehow protective of his or her child, thus, resulting to a tendency to withdraw from the society.
Amazingly, many organizations who aim to help single parents have thought of activities that address such issues. This is one kind of single parent benefits organized by the organizers varies from country to country.
In the UK, for instance, it is quite remarkable that there are specialist groups such as Mango who serves as a tour operator for single parents and organizes single parent holidays in groups. This somehow helps eliminate the feeling of being ‘different’ from the crowd.
This also facilitates in providing quality time for parents and children, without feelings of fear or uncertainty since single parents are often times busy with their work. Through such events, parents also get the chance to take a breather from the stress that they regularly experience and find support groups from each other’s company.
A healthy relationship can be developed by removing the problems of single parent holidays
Children, on the other hand, get the opportunity to meet other children from similar types of families like theirs. Consequently, they are able to not just enjoy a healthy bonding experience with their parents but also make new friends without the fear of being teased by their peers.
Mango also provides adult activities and a special promo for single parents as a benefit who need to be away through their Adults Only Weekends and Holidays. This is because there are cases when parents also want to take the time off because they need space. Lone parents may feel guilty of leaving their children to babysitters or caregivers when they want time for themselves.
This should not be the case since they also need rejuvenating experiences that allow them to see the other side of their personhood, not just as parents. It will be unfair that their chance to have ‘me’ time should serve as an emotional burden for them.
People need time to do other things that they like, special hobbies or just simply joining activities with other friends to make them whole, to become better people. Consequently, this ‘time out’ will likely be beneficial for the child because this gives the parent the chance to become a better parent.
Another group with offices in the US and Canada, EXPLORE! The Adventure Travel Experts also offers single parent family holidays where families get the chance to travel as they mingle. Since EXPLORE! has been running group adventures since the early 80s, they are already quite experienced in this field and can ensure the safety of parents and children.
One of the advantages of having a travel company organize activities for single parents is that it relieves them of the anxiety of planning and preparation and the possibility of having an activity flop. Instead, parents are able to direct their attention on the sheer enjoyment of spending each moment with their children.
On top of these, there are many forms of recreation that single parents can also try with their children, even inexpensive ones, based on common interests. What is truly important is the pocket of wonderful memories that a child – and a parent – can keep in their hearts through a shared experience.
