We often see children howling in train / bus / plane n causing great discomfort to the poor parents n more to the folks around.
So how do we deal with this?
‘Day to day problem?
A little bit of planning before the trip can help a lot in such situations; plan to take interesting food that the kids would like , carry a book or a toy that would distract them n above all, get into the habit of taking to them about the travel itself !
Even from an earlier age , even as infants parents have to communicate to their kids ; once this is done, then they can explain about the travel n make it interesting for them to look forward to it.
In spite of all this if the kids are cranky, pl don’t loose your patience with them, but keep talking to them n keep them close to you till they settle down.
Also pl refrain from taking them to places where they will not be comfortable; I saw a Parent with a 2 year old in a hospital where the mother had come for consultations- as far as possible leave the child at home or in Daycare where the child will be happier.
