I decided to put my slippers on for while when my daughter was born and took the opportunity to get my truck rebuilt!
Now she is three we are starting to think of travelling again.
They need to be old enough to understand why things need to be done, like taking malaria tablets, or drinking to survive, rather than because your thirsty.
The view of 'well, kids live there' is flawed, they also often die there in much larger numbers than we are used to. They also have a degree of immunity from their mothers and their parents are used to managing children in such an environment.
It also helps if they are old enough to have some appreciation of what is going on!!!
