You are listening to Feeding the Mouth That Bight You with Ashley Parrish and Jessica Pfeiffer.

A weekly podcast guide on parenting teens and launching them into the world. As always,

we are joined by psychologist and author, Dr. Ken Wilgus.

Hey, everyone and welcome back on today's episode. We will be discussing traveling with teenagers.

This topic is one that's come up in our family because we're looking forward to summer

in a few months.

But this year in particular, because of COVID, we had to shut down some of our family

traveled, cancel some of our trips, you know, loosen our ideas about where we were going

to go. It's been a really

disappointing year because our family has always love travel and we are always going somewhere,

even if it's just for a weekend to go see family or if it's a long trip. We love long car

trips, 20 hours. It's no big deal in the car for our family. So I love family, family trips,

but it's been a weird year. And we've had a lot going on. So we haven't done as much travel,

but I think we are turning a corner. How about you, Ashley? Are you guys ready to get on the road again?

Yes, well, not necessarily on the road again, but we're just ready to get on the road again? Yes. Well, not necessarily on the road

again, but we're just ready to get on the road for the first time. We've had so many little ones.

Little babies. Yeah, tiny and two at a time. You know, and so when you've got two, you just don't go

anywhere. And so everybody's old enough now.

We're really looking forward to traveling.

And then I've got this thought, you know, that's constantly in the back of my mind that I only have, you know, so many more years with my oldest before she's gone, you know, off, off to college, out of the house.

And so I just want to jam pack all of these trips into these next

couple years. Yes. Yes. So we can kind of either make up for lost times or, you know.
