If you are planning to fly with a child, you should prepare for it especially carefully.
Here are ways that even the most restless mischief-maker will turn into an angel, and adults will get pure pleasure from the trip.
Don't rush to get on the plane first
Instead of trying to be the first to board your flight, take your child for a walk around the airport and visit shops where you can look at and discuss the displays.
Make room for the child to stand.
When you are allowed to unfasten your seat belts on the plane, clear the space of bags and packages and put your baby on his feet, preferably near the window. Since a child feels oppressed in a closed space where movement is limited, even a little freedom will expand the sense of space and help him calm down.
Don't forget about snacks and water
Take with you the drinks and food that your baby likes, and to prevent his ears from getting blocked during takeoff, take a lollipop (for a baby - a pacifier).
Be calm
Away with fuss and shouting: you should communicate with your child in a calm and confident manner. Neither the whims of the little one nor the reproachful glances of other passengers should interfere with this.
Take care of entertainment
Be sure to pack your baby's favorite toys and add a couple of new entertainments. In addition to coloring books, stickers, dolls and soldiers, you can try to distract the child with the most common objects: a notebook, keys, a wallet, etc.
Tell us what's going on
Children will have no time to be capricious if you tell them about all the interesting and exciting things that happen at the airport and on the plane.
Use whisper
Since whispering adds mystery, sometimes whisper something in your baby's ear like, "Would you like me to tell you something interesting?" This atmosphere will absorb the baby's mind.
