Ik ben al een paar camino's met mijn oudste dochter op pad geweest en het was plezant, zij kunnen nog héél veel leren van een oude man.Hola Pelegrinos!
Vraagt u zich af wat u hebt geleerd met uw dochter (of zonen, of kleinkinderen) op de CF?
Afgelopen juli CF afgerond en ik ben opgewonden dat mijn volwassen kinderen nu bereid genoeg zijn om ook met de oude man mee te willen gaan!
Wat denk je?
Walked the CF with my daughter. It was beyond wonderful. How often do you get to spend that much time with your adult child? Even better, for 8 weeks before we went to the CF we hiked twice a week to prepard. It was a shared adventure and I watched her be confident in her ability to roll with everything, no complaining, great problem solving, great company. I then walked from Santiago to Fiisterre and Muxia with another daughter - same experience. I will say that I have great relationships with my daughters so we were ahead of the game to begin with. I would do it with them again in a heartbeat.Hola Pelegrinos!
Wondering what you learned going with your daughter's (or sons, or grands) on the CF?
Completed CF this past July, and am excited my adult kids are now willing enough to want to go with the old man too!
Your thoughts?
I walked with my 15/16 year old son in 2016 (his birthday was mid-Camino). I learned various things about him, but I assume those particulars aren't what you are after. I learned that you need to respect the people you are walking with, whatever their age, and give them some agency in the walk. This could be leaving them to use their free time after the walk as they please, or input into how far to walk each day. You can start out with some ground rules about how you will walk with each other, but be open to change them in the course of the walk. For example, we started with the ground rule that we didn't need to walk with each other but if one of us was walking ahead, they'd wait for the other to catch up at the entrance to the next town or village. That was changed later on to encourage us to walk together more.Hola Pelegrinos!

Your thoughts?
Buen Camino by Peter Murtagh and his 18 year old daughter Natasha would be a good read. They walked the Camino together and you can get both their perspectives.I wish! One of my daughters is too busy being a mum to two young children and the breadwinner to contemplate time off in Spain with her Dad and the other daughter has the time but is disinclined to live the pilgrim lifestyle.
I do have hopes for the future though
I wish you and your daughter(s) the very best Buen Camino!
Great book! It was touching and very funnyYou might find this interesting!
