Depending on the age of your teen, their interests, and relative maturity, you might be tempted to pack on their behalf. However, having teens manage their own suitcase is a critical step to getting them involved and interested in your travel plans; use this as an opportunity to step back and encourage them to pack for themselves. Utilize organizational tools to make the process easier: start with a good luggage set, incorporate packing cubes, brainstorm a destination-specific checklist, and have item-designated bags at their disposal (e.g. one for toiletries, electronics, and accessories). When you follow these simple steps, you and your teen should find packing a breeze!
