Preparing 4 year old for international trip?
We are travelling with our four year old and 11 month old this summer. We'll primarily visit Slovakia (about 12 nights) and Croatia (6 nights). My wife is of Slovakian descent so I have focused more attention there. It is not my daughter's first international trip, but since she is more aware and communicative, I am trying to help her get more from the trip.
We have started learning a few Slovak words and hopefully will have a few down by the time the trip rolls around. She can be shy, of course, but hopefully a lot of practice now will get her to use them at least a couple of times. We also watched the Rick Steves video for Dubrovnik and the one for London, where we have a layover. I got a kids' book from the library on Slovakia but it is for older kids.
Any tricks you've tried that have worked particularly well? Thanks!
