Single parent holidays

Going on holiday as a single parent takes a lot of careful planning and research but also a lot of courage, confidence and bravery to dip that toe into an unknown ocean. The need for a holiday as a single parent can be great but the actual thought can be very daunting as facing the prospect of being surrounded by married couples and traditional families can only add to our insecurities.

We all need a break at times but the cost can play a big role in deciding whether we take that much-needed break or not and so it is important to set a budget and stick to it. A holiday is a time for fun and enjoyment, not a time to put your finances into crisis. We firmly believe that a holiday comes with many benefits for both the parent and child through morale boosting, recharging batteries and time to unwind in new and refreshing surroundings. A holiday really does let you escape away from the everyday struggles as a single parent if you let it and allows you to enjoy special moments as a family while making memories that you will cherish forever.

Here at Dream Bear we understand all too well the huge number of things to be considered when it comes to going on holiday, whether it is one abroad or a staycation here in the UK. Having a list of things to sort (passports for yourself and the children, a budget, currency, accommodation, any special requirements, transport, someone to water the plants etc) is a great place to start, as is having access to hints and tips on making the most of your holiday and your time away together. As always we are on hand to try and take the guess work away and so you'll find this section dedicated to helping you overcome any hurdles, practical or emotional so that you may enjoy the holiday you all deserve.
