Creating the ultimate travel ‘Yes Day’ for your children

YOU have probably seen the hit Netflix movie by now. If you haven’t, I suggest you add it to your weekend movie list. The movie revolves around couple Allison and Carlos who decide to give their children a “Yes Day”. Their three children have 24 hours to make the rules.

A Yes Day can translate into a travel daycation where your children, or niece and nephew, decide where to explore within your city. Here’s how to plan the ultimate travel “Yes Day” for your kids:

Yes Day

PICK A DAY

Start by choosing a date. Alert them about the Yes Day only on the day to add to the spontaneity.

SET A BUDGET

While making children in charge of the decision is fun, there needs to be a budget set. A budget allows children to understand the importance of being money savvy.

GROUND RULES ARE VITAL

You want the children to have fun and think out of the box and not restrict them too much. Set three or four rules. Alternatively, you could discard the rules altogether and introduce a “no card” that allows you to decline one Yes experience.

GO WITH THE FLOW

Let the Yes Day be spontaneous. Besides planning the logistics, let other aspects of the daycation run as intended.

EXPLORE TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT

If it goes well, you could turn a Yes

Day into a Yes Weekend retreat where the children decide two or three travel experiences you cannot refuse. These kinds of experiences allow you to forge stronger bonds with your children. | Clinton Moodley
