Taking a family vacation with toddlers and preschoolers (children aged 1 through 4) is one of those classic good news/ bad news situations. The bad news is that this can be the most difficult age group to travel with. Young kids are notoriously difficult to keep restrained, likely to have embarrassing temper tantrums(脾气发作), capable of getting lost in a flash, and exhausting themselves and their parents.
The good news is that children in this age group are charming, enthusiastic and insatiably curious―they delight in the smallest things. Those are the attributes (特征) of an excellent traveler, and vacationing with toddlers and preschoolers is more often than not a wonderful gift to adults. It takes a little bit of work, though, so your first job as tour leader is to slow down. If you take the time to view the world through your child's eyes instead of trying to get your child to view it through yours, everyone will invariably be happier.
Young children often have difficulty keeping still and focusing for extended periods, which means that long travel days and a tour packed with too many activities requiring quiet, attentive behavior like museum visits and shopping don't work. Yet this age group does very well when scheduled activities are short in duration and allow for plenty of movement and time to investigate and ask questions. Activities that take advantage of a young child?s natural sense of curiosity and wonder such as hands -on museums, nature walks, zoos and farms are ideal.
If you?re traveling by car, try to keep the driving time each day to a minimum and stop frequently to let the kids run around. One way to make travel days fun is to arrive at your hotel or camp site early enough each day so that there's still time for the family to do something together―splash in the pool, take a long walk, play a game―before the requirements of dinner and bedtime crop up. When you schedule flights, take your kids' daily patterns into account as you would with an infant, so they're less likely to be tired and irritable.
Safety is another big issue with kids in this age group. They?re fast, they?re small and they?re oblivious to their limitations, which means some environments pose major threats to their well-being. Crowds, water, traffic and wilderness areas are just a few. If your ideal vacation involves travel to such problematic areas, you should weigh the issues. Is the destination so terrific in other ways that it's worth being on the alert throughout the vacation? Do you have enough adults in your group to split watch times? Can you minimize the dangers by taking preventive measures?

Behavioral scientists have done countless experiments to prove that any human being tends to repeat an act which has been immediately followed by a pleasant result. In one such experiment, a number of schoolchildren were divided into three groups and given arithmetic tests daily for five days. One group was consistently praised for its previous performance; another group was criticized; the third was ignored.
Not surprisingly, those who were praised improved dramatically. Those who were criticized improved also but not so much. And the scores of

Topic the children who were ignored hardly improved at all. Interestingly，the brightest children were helped just as much by criticism as by praise, but the less able children reacted badly to criticism, who needed praise the most. Yet the latter are the very youngsters who, in most schools, fail to get the pat on the back.
To give praise costs the giver nothing but a moments thought and a moment?s effort一perhaps a quick phone call to pass on a compliment (称赞), or five minutes spent writing an appreciative letter.
It is such a small investment一and yet consider the results it may produce. “I can live for two months on a good compliment,” said Mark Twain. 【写作内容】

A scientific experiment proves that children who receive constant praises do improve a lot in their performances. So, let?s be generous enough to give praise to people around.
Praising others is a supreme state of life, for praising and being praised both bring pleasure. Receivers can feel the sense of accomplishment, because their efforts are acknowledged by others, which will create motivation in their inner world. Meanwhile, the givers can make their own hearts full of love, thus establishing the healthy and harmonious interpersonal relationships.
When I was in junior high school, I had much difficulty in learning English and lost interest in it. But Mum praised and encouraged me for even smallest achievements. I worked harder and gradually made great progress. Now I can speak English fluently and have won many awards.
Praise is powerful. Not only will it bring joy into others? lives, but also into our own. (150 words)
