It’s true, the memories they create while on vacation with their family serve as happiness anchors throughout their entire lives! You can read more about the science behind that in this article by the Telegraph. Personally, traveling as a family has helped us connect as a family, find happiness after losing a loved one, and it has helped my son heal from some of his adoption trauma.
