Five Benefits of Taking a Staycation

Parental Guidance Articles by The Goddard School Educational Advisory Board

Taking a vacation with your family can be challenging, so try taking a staycation instead. Here are five benefits of enjoying time off at home.

• Give your wallet a break. The beauty of a staycation is that you don't have to spend money on gas, air travel or hotels. An added bonus is that you can use some of that cash on day trips or activities, instead.
• Get to know your town. Taking a staycation gives you the chance to explore your community. Take your child to a local restaurant you haven't tried yet, visit a nearby park or simply go for a stroll through your neighborhood.
• Reduce your stress. Staying at home means you and your child don't have to sit in traffic, wait in line at the airport or adjust to different lodgings. You can simply relax.
• Enjoy the comfort of your own home. You and your child can sleep in your own beds, lounge on your own couch and cook up some treats in your own kitchen. The comforts of home are what make it "home, sweet home," after all.
• Maximize your vacation time. Staycations reduce the amount of time spent traveling, checking into and out of hotels and planning an itinerary. The minute you're home, you're on vacation.
