While I did not travel extensively when my children were only 4 and 2 like this author (not because I didn't want to "waste" travel on them; but rather because I was too overwhelmed at the thought of taking three toddlers [I would have had two two-year-olds at the time] anywhere besides the park and children's museum....), I whole-heartedly agree with her sentiments. Travel, adventure, new experiences, flexibility, cultural education, and more are among the many benefits of getting out and seeing the world (or the country or the state or even just the neighboring city) with our children.
Leave the house, that's the place to start.
