HOW TO AVOID TEEN TANTRUMS ON HOLIDAY!

 

Sarah Tucker has been interviewing lots of teenagers for her new book. Here, with the school holidays upon us, she tells you what it takes to have a family holiday that doesn't end in tears.

Given the choice, teenagers prefer not to go on holiday with their parents. Given no option, teenagers take a holiday with their parents because their parents pay. According to more than 1,500 parents and teenagers I've interviewed over the past twelve months for my next book, the concept of the happy family holiday appears to go wrong when the child reaches adolescence.

 

Desmond Morris, an expert on human behaviour, says, 'At this age, teenagers are starting to assert their independence. They may begin to resent help from their parents, seeing it as interference. And, above all, they like to be among their peers -especially on holiday.' He adds: 'There are additional tensions on holiday when families are brought together for a long period of time and, just like at Christmas, there is an expectation of everyone enjoying themselves without having to work at it. Only it doesn't always happen that way.'

 

So what does work with teenagers on holiday? Specific countries as well as holiday options proved more popular than others. Italy is becoming the most popular destination for teenagers, closely followed by Australia and Canada. The popularity of these countries appears to be as much to do with the personality and culture of the people as the location and facilities on site. 'The people are lively and laid-back,' commented one fifteen-year-old, who had just returned from a two-week break with his family. 'I met a group of Italian teenagers from Bologna and we would go down to the beach every evening and play guitars till dusk. The campsite was on the beach, so parents knew where we were and what we were doing.'

 

An option many of those families I interviewed had tried included going with another family who also had teenage children. One mother explained that this only works if the teenagers as well as the adults are compatible. Personality clashes may make tense situations worse.

 

Some 90% of those teenagers I spoke to preferred the guarantee of sunshine and heat. Teenagers enjoy the beach, as long as they are surrounded by their peers. Their new companions do not have to be of the same sex or even the same nationality - the main criterion appears to be that they are of the same age. Get the teenagers to take a friend with them, so that they can go out by themselves. More than 80% of teenagers interviewed preferred an outdoor adventure of some sort on holiday. There are many activity holidays which cater for teenagers, but choose a location which is exotic, if you have the budget. Some resorts offer discounts for teenagers.

 

A resounding 99% of the teenagers I spoke to recommended package holidays, particularly where you stay at a specially-designed resort, like Club Med. However, parents felt they were a bit too controlled, and they didn't see enough of their children. The beauty of Club Med (or similar style) holidays is that you can do as little or as much as you want. Typical activities include horse-riding, football training - and there's even a circus school at one Club Med resort!

 

Most teenagers thought that the other side of the world was more interesting than anything to be found in Europe. And the destination on most wish lists was Australia. Those who had visited Down Under claimed it was the best holiday they had ever experienced, with or without their parents. Teenagers might visit later, in their gap year, so why not see what it's like before they go by themselves?

 

A final word on holidays to avoid. A big thumbs down from teenagers for walking, fishing or cycling holidays. Or any holiday with 'leisurely' mentioned anywhere in the brochure. And if you are planning a holiday to improve your teenagers' minds, forget it. They also rejected any holiday that claims to be cultural, romantic, scenic or relaxing.

 

Wherever you decide to go this year, I hope you all enjoy it – as a family!

 

Work it out!

Find these words and phrases in the article and underline them. Can you work out what they mean from the context?

 

adolescence • resent • interference • peers • laid-back • compatible •

guarantee • typical

 

Have your say!

Do you agree with this statement?

'Travel broadens the mind.'

Monitoring and Maintaining the Intellectual Challenge

 

Sarah Villiers

Tim Ward

 

Learners need to feel intellectually challenged and to experience the feeling of achievement and success in order to be stimulated and sustain their learning. This process can be enhanced by encouraging learners to be more autonomousand independent (which can boost confidence), by promoting self-esteem (which adds further motivation), and by providing more opportunities for self-assessment (which increases awareness of learning strategies, learning to learn and, thereby, competence in learning).
