Should you let your kids choose where you go on holiday?

How much say do you give your kids when it comes to booking a holiday? After all, holidays are about relaxing and if the kids are happy, parents are happy. Aren't they? I know all about Pester Power and holidays after our first Centre Parcs experience. The brochure came through the post along with a very nicely produced DVD. Soon it was bye-bye to cbeebies and hello to the new favourite programme - the Centre Parcs DVD. They still remember the holiday and still beg to go back. And then there's Disneyland Paris - the ultimate bribe dangled for super good behaviour. I just know it's only a matter of time before we cave it... A new report out today from Teletext Holidays shows that only four out of ten kids aged between 6 and 15 never let them choose where they go on holiday. So there's an awful lot who are able to choose where they go on their annual getaway. Our little ones are three and six and already they are whizzes on the laptop. They are as happy using a mouse as they are a felt tip pen. So when it comes to looking at holidays, they love to get involved. They want to click on the destination videos, make the hotel room pictures bigger and type in the dates. Searching for a holiday has become a multi-media family experience. But at the end of the day, holidays cost a lot of money so it will always come down to finding a holiday where all ages can be happy and at the right price. But as we are about to head off on our first family long-haul trip to Antigua tomorrow, I just know that resisting "pester power" on future holiday bookings is going to be futile.
