Dad went on a trip with a young daughter and realized something very important
One day, a photographer from Beijing, Stephen Chow (Stefen Chow) is having a free week, which he is completely dedicated to his 2-year-old daughter. But instead of the usual for many families play and daddy's little Chou gave her a real journey.
With permission of the author Website to share with you the story of how it was.
Little Chou prefers to sit near the window.
Although the girl at the time was only two years, Steven decided that Chou was time to learn more about this world, and the best way to do that is to see with your own eyes. Especially as the girl started to take an interest in what surrounded her.
Mom was busy at work and could not join them, so went on a journey just dad and daughter. And even if some people thought the idea of Steven doubtful, and even dangerous, everything went perfectly and became, according to the photographer, one of the best trips of his life.
Chow eating Christmas dinner in Hualien, Taiwan. And just like her dad, she loves watermelon.
In their mini-adventure Stephen followed three rules:
- to book a hotel room for no more than a day to have the opportunity for spontaneous maneuver;
- to stay away from the big cities and usual tourist routes, to spend more time alone with my daughter;
- allow the child to make choices and to influence the course of the journey.
Sometimes Chou is not averse to a row. And that's absolutely fine.
In addition to a great time, traveling with her daughter gave Stephen and something else important — an experience that will be useful to every parent.
Here's what I realized Stephen:
- Kids possess complex communication skills.
- Do not put the wishes of children above all else.
Chou quickly figured out, why are the street performers, and she always wanted to give them money. And she learned to walk down the stairs while holding a Lollipop in hand.
- Being a father is an incredible experience.
- Should be more appreciated by your partners.
Now Chou for three years, and at this age she has already managed to visit ten countries, along with mom and dad.
- The journey is born a friendship that lasts a lifetime.
