The media personality also emphasized the need to strike a balance between children’s fun and parents’ relaxation.
“Successful family vacations depend on a little quid pro quo,” she admitted.
‘We all know that the balance is heavily tilted in favor of those most likely to throw a tantrum, but we, as mothers and fathers, have to take the victories where we can get them.’
Last August, Sylvia revealed that despite her booming career, family is her number one priority.
The Today show star told The Daily Telegraph that she always makes time for her two young sons.
“I don’t take it for granted that I can find quite a bit of balance in my life in that area,” says the beauty.

“Because most of all, I want to be with my kids, especially now that they’re this age,” she continued.
“I know this is the most important thing in life, so I try to make sure I get the most out of those hours of the day every day.”
Sylvia and husband Peter Sefanovic recently put their Double Bay patio on the market for $4.5 million.
“The three-mile jog back to Surfers Paradise was fueled by my excitement that my children were about to build their own holiday memories in the place where I forged mine,” she wrote.
It is clear that the journalists want a bigger house with room for their growing family.
The luxurious two-storey residence in the cosmopolitan eastern suburbs cost the couple $2.7 million in 2016.
The couple married on April 1, 2017 at the Ooralba Estate in Kangaroo Valley.
In 2020, Sylvia and Peter, 42, welcomed their first son, Oscar.
Just eight months later, the TV presenter revealed she was pregnant with her second child, a son, Henry.
