Travelling with children can be lots of fun. It can also be scary, frustrating and exhausting! Here are a few tips that can help make your next trip a little easier.
While you’re travelling, try to stick as closely as possible to your child’s regular routine.
Make sure that you plan carefully, and pack all the necessities. Nothing’s worse than being in a foreign country and realising you don’t have the essentials.
Find out what the local emergency numbers are in the area you’re visiting, and make sure that you pack basic first aid supplies.
If your child is flying for the first time, make sure that he or she knows what will happen by preparing for the flight. Read books, visit the airport and speak to your child about flying.
Don’t fly when your child is sick or has an ear infection, and if your child complains about ears that ‘pop’ give him or her a bottle to suck while you’re taking off and landing.
Taking books, toys and other essentials with on a plane or car trip can make all the difference, as it gives your child something to think about, other than flying.
Playing games in the car to distract your child, as well as making sure you know how to prevent car sickness are two more ways you can make a road trip more fun.
