Vacations Are Better Holiday Gifts for Children than Toys
1
If you're stressing about missing Black Friday sales and searching for _(1)_ alternative to
_(2)_ expensive toy, there's good news: gifting your kids experiences and bonding time instead of
things might be better for their soul (and mind!).
In _(3)_ recent study published in The Journal of
Social and Personal Relationships, researchers interviewed close to 500 women between 18 and
93 years old, asking them to answer the question "Most people feel loved when … " — and _(5)_
most popular answers had nothing to do with receiving items.
"Our research found that micromoments of positivity, like a kind word, cuddling, or receiving compassion make people feel most
loved," says one of the study's authors, Dr. Zita Oravecz.
đč“Nossa pesquisa descobriu que micromomentos de positividade, como uma palavra gentil, um abraço ou receber compaixĂŁo, fazem as pessoas sentirem-se mais amadas”, afirma uma das autoras do estudo, a Dra. Zita Oravecz.
đč"a kind word" → “uma palavra gentil” (mantĂ©m o sentido de gentileza verbal).
đč"cuddling" → “um abraço” (a tradução mais natural em portuguĂȘs).
đčreceiving compassion → “receber compaixĂŁo” (mantĂ©m o tom emocional e empĂĄtico).
đčmake people feel most loved → “fazem as pessoas se sentirem mais amadas” (estrutura natural em portuguĂȘs).

Psychological author Oliver James pointed out: "Give a 2-year-old a present and she’ll be
interested in the box instead.
đčO autor e psicĂłlogo Oliver James observou: “DĂȘ um presente a uma criança de 2 anos e ela se interessarĂĄ mais pela caixa do que pelo presente.”
đč"pointed out" → “observou” (ou “destacou”, dependendo do tom).
It's similar with children and travel.
We should let them explore their
own ways of finding wonder in their surroundings.”
Aside from a potential boost to long-term
happiness, vacations can make children smarter, according to British child psychologist Dr. Margot
Sunderland.
đčAlĂ©m de uma possĂvel melhora na felicidade a longo prazo, as fĂ©rias podem tornar as crianças mais inteligentes, de acordo com a psicĂłloga infantil britĂąnica Dra. Margot Sunderland.
đčAside from → “AlĂ©m de” (expressĂŁo comum para adicionar uma ideia).
đčboost = impulso, aumento, melhora.
đčlong-term happiness = felicidade duradoura ou de longo prazo.
"What is less widely known is that vacations can also advance brain development in
children," she said.
"This is because on a family vacation, you are exercising two genetically
ingrained systems deep in the brain's limbic area, which can all too easily be 'unexercised' in the
home.
These ____ the PLAY system and the SEEKING system (Panksepp, 2016)."

Sunderland
continued, explaining that the brain's PLAY system "is exercised every time you bury your child’s
feet in the sand, tickle them on the pool lounger, or take them for a ride on your back.
The
SEEKING system is exercised each time you go exploring together: the forest, the beach, a hidden
gem of a village."
Sunderland added "So when you take your child on a vacation, you are supporting their
explorative urge (SEEKING system), a vital resource for living life well, and their capacity to play
(PLAY system).
In adulthood, this translates into the ability to play with ideas — essential, for
example, to the successful entrepreneur."
James says it's worth noting that vacations "remove us,
physically, from our highly pressured everyday lives where everyone's focused on meeting targets.
They are times when everyone can relax and be playful together."
This collaborative playtime —
free from toys and technology — is "a crucial human experience, for children especially, but for
adults too.
Without it, life is very empty and lacking in joy," he added. "Children see the world
differently.
For example: the way that French cafés have Orangina instead of Fanta is fascinating
to kids, and details like that will stick with them for long after the vacation ends."
