Not infrequently, parents have limiting beliefs about parenthood and child care.

They might think, for example, “I can’t travel because I have a small child.” While it’s true that traveling with a toddler (or toddlers) adds layers of complexity to a trip, it’s also true that it adds layers of fun.
