Expanding Horizons: Why Travel Matters for Your Child | Episode 461

from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith

Is travel essential for a child’s development? Dr. Roger Smith explores Mark Twain’s idea that travel is "fatal to prejudice," explaining how exposing children to different cultures, languages, and perspectives prevents narrow-mindedness. Whether you’re crossing an ocean or just visiting the next town over, encountering people who live differently helps children move past assumptions and learn to value others. If you can't hit the road, Dr. Smith shares how to "travel the world in your living room" through books and stories, ultimately teaching your kids the invaluable skill of loving and appreciating a diverse world.
