15 16 17 18 19 20 [Next] - While preparing our 2 1/2-year-old daughter for her first airplane trip, we were concerned about the noise of the plane, since she was terrified of loud noises such as the vacuum cleaner, hairdryer, mixer, etc. We made frequent stops by our local airport (1-2 X weekly) to acquaint her with the noise of the airplanes. At first she was scared, but soon she warmed up to the idea and would just grin while holding her ears. This worked like a charm. She did not exhibit any uneasiness on the entire trip, and she still wants to go to the airport and watch the planes. 1-Jan-2000 Mindy Van Pelt ID915 - When they get up in the a.m. before the trip, make their first food/drink of the day, a small bit of milk, (like 1/3 - 1/2 cup) The protein will 'win the race' as the chemical which reaches the brain first. This stimulates a natural 'up' and sharpness as opposed to a day of sluggishness. It will last through mid day 'fueling time' when children typically are tired. Most important part is to prevent your child from eating or drinking anything else (especially sugars or starches), for at least 10 minutes after their milk/protien. The chemicals that are produced by starches, for example, get to the brain prior to the protein, and the milk will not do anyone much good! Laugh, smile, hug a lot (best tip).

ActivitiesForKids.com 18-Dec-2003 ActivitiesForKids.com ID929 - When traveling in the car or on an airplane, a great entertainer is reusable stickers. Your children can stick and restick them on the windows of the car or airplane. Also, lollipops are good for earaches during flying. I travel with my 2-year-old at least once a year by airplane, and when we have to change airplanes, I put a safety bracelet on her connecting her to me. That way I can put my backpack on my back, she's connected to my wrist, and my hands are free to carry her carseat. By the way, I tell her it's a bracelet - and I point out that I am wearing one, too, and that she can take it off when we reach the next gate. 1-Jan-2000 Angela Oleson ID921 Would You Like to Add a Travel Tip?We welcome QUALITY travel tips from our users.Note: you will be required to enter the characters from a security image, so please make sure that you have your browser set to view images.
