Anxiety 3week trip with 13yr old
Have a 3 week vacation to overseas coming up (we live in Canada) with my wife and our 13yr old daughter. She’s been not wanting to go since the start but to do with missing school/friends/sports.
She’s extremely social, an only child, and has quickly turned into typical teenager (phone all the time chatting/moody etc). I’m starting to have some anxiety that my original plan of “when she gets there she’ll get excited” is not going to come to light. We’re in 7 or 8 cities over those 3 weeks so a lot of getting around, exploring etc.
Any tips to ensure my wife and I have a great vacation not dragged down with a moody/bored teenager the whole time. Also want want her to enjoy the trip in the moment.
She says she’ll look later for things she might like to do so for now I’m just guessing planning. I’m already ok with her staying at the hotel for half a day occasionally if she wants to chill alone verse exploring.
Any tips/war stories appreciated. We’re going for sure and have no family to leave her with.
