by Francis Hosein, Fra

This new way of celebrating the holidays can be difficult for the children in making grown up decision of who they want to spend time with.

Creating new tradition

It can be difficult for the newly formed parents to decide who to go to for the holidays because you may feel that who ever you pick to go to as an example with the in-laws the other may feel bad or left out.

Creating a new tradition can be the way to go to bring newness and fun for you and your children and to be open to this new way of behaving.

Children have a hard time in accepting change when comes to leaving one parent behind when they are accustom to having their traditions at Christmas.

No guilt

Children in a blended may have a hard time accepting the new person into their family because of the fear of liking the new person as much or close to their feeling for their parent.

Children may feel that they are doing something wrong or that they are forgetting their parents' traditions and may wish to continue this again.

Children may feel guilty and do not want to be in a place that they have to choose one parent and their partner over the other parent.

Making a decision which parent is going to have the children and for what occasion can either be, easy or difficult depending on the feeling of the parents and children that need to work it out.

Doing things together

Your children wants to be reassured that they are not leaving out another parent and that they are allow enjoying their time with the other parent and not feeling guilty and that is where the other parent responsibility is to their children in dealing with the transition.

Listening

To help children to make a better transition from moving from one family they may feel that they are abandoning one to go to another is giving them a chance to express their feeling without attempting to cover it up or justify it.

So before expressing your feeling as an adult it is a good thing to listen to your children before you make your decision.

One parent may be alone

If one parent is left alone and the children knows about it the other parent has a responsibility to reassure the children that the one that is left alone will be fine with out them so no guilt is form.

Making a new transition

Making a new step for a parent is not always easy to be welcome in the new family and also difficult for the children involve.

Each person that you may come across may have their own ideas of whom or what you should or should not do at a time like this and your responsibility is to first breathe and know that you are not the first to go through this situation or the last.

To know sometimes people in general have difficult in accepting change because it ask of them to adjust and they may not know you well and that may make them uncomfortable.

The new family you are going into wants to know that you will be a better person and will enrich their family, and that they can trust you to do the right thing by the children although they may not be your own.

Conclusion : Blended families during the time of the holiday can be a time of renewal and fun depending on the adults and their openness to change.

The scenic destination has only recently emerged as a package holiday destination but with its mass of sprawling hills and perfectly manicured beaches it has quickly built up its reputation to emerge as one of the top destinations for holidays in the sun.

Children of all ages will love the Squirrel Park based in the resort of Istria and the fact that squirrels are red, and not grey as in England, will both amuse and delight them whilst on your family holidays. The park allows children the change to find out everything they need to know and more about this woodland critter, and the extensive summer programme gives them the chance to make their own squirrel themed costume and toys.

For adults, the scenic town of Volosko is definitely worth a visit. The pretty seaside village features some of the countries best seafood coupled with stunning views of the dramatic Adriatic Sea.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote is an old favourite for a package holiday and with its excellent year round climate and gorgeous sandy beaches it isn't hard to see why.

The submarine safaris are a sure-fire hit for children and they are specially designed for underwater exploration. Each submarine features 22 portals as well as large television screens perfect for spotting any lurking sharks. The submarine dives to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for an hour and the clearness of the water gives children a remarkable view of what life's like under the sea.

Catalanza's giant catamaran will appeal to adults, although children are also welcome on board. Both will be given the chance to sail the boat around the smooth waters of the Atlantic and the trip also provides opportunities for the more adventurous to try jet-skiing, or learn how to snorkel on their family holidays.

Turkey

As a family holiday destination, Turkey combines a perfect fusion of east and west. Belly dancers and ancient temples mix with golden sandy beaches and vibrant water parks to create a destination that offers something for everyone.

The Adaland water park is on most children's wish lists when visiting Turkey and as the resort features a dolphin park that gives children the chance to swim and play with these incredible mammals it really isn't hard to see why.

The park is the largest in Europe and is also home to a vast array of windy water-slides intent on amusing both adults and children alike. The third area is called Sea Park and gives families the chance to dive and snorkel in a safe environment. Children can meet and feed friendly string-rays and photograph not so friendly sharks up close.

Adults should experience a traditional hamman whilst on their family holiday and these are offered in most Turkish resorts. The genuine hammans consist of a three part massage combining peeling, foam and oil. And of course, no traditional hamman is complete without a round of Raki afterwards. However, this potent spirit is strictly adults only!

Gran Canaria

It's of no surprise that another Canary Island makes it onto our top four list. Gran Canaria is the 2nd most populated Canary Island after Tenerife and provides an excellent destination for holidays in the Sun.

Children will be both scared and enthralled by the Crocodile Park in Aguimes. The park is home to over 300 crocodiles and visiting during feeding time is an absolute must. The tamer other half of the park is a zoo with areas for monkeys, tigers and jaguars, but the adjacent caf? which features roller-skating parrots will definitely prove to be a highlight of your family holidays.

The western town of Sioux City holds equal rapture for both adults and children alike. Originally built as a stage set for an American Western film in 1972, the town has now developed into a theme park complete with cowboys, Indians, Mexicans and a sheriff. There are shows throughout the day but Friday evenings will provide the climax to your holidays in the sun, with a plentiful barbecue feast, followed by traditional country dancing.
