At the age of 5 - 6 years, the child is quite capable of occupying himself for some time. He is already "big" and strives for independence in everything. The task of parents is to insure their restless and proactive child as much as possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure your child understands safe driving behavior. Provide for situations that may occur, tell your child how to behave correctly in each of them. Create play situations in which your little one can put their knowledge into practice. Naturally, this must be done in advance, and not immediately before the trip.
Step 2
Prepare your own travel kit for your child (or for each of them, if there are several children). It can include juice, fruit, snacks, toys.
Step 3
Try to make the child feel the community of family rest: buy the same badges for each family member, make bracelets from threads - this will help create a feeling of “team” in the child.
Step 4
You can come up with some kind of tradition for traveling, for example, to keep a “logbook” every day, in which the events and impressions of the day will be recorded.
Step 5
Do not expect your child to behave like an adult. It is necessary to clearly stipulate the rules of conduct, while leaving space for the game. So, in the queue for passport control, when boarding the train, you need to hold your mom or dad by the hand, but, for example, you can ride on a luggage trolley that dad rolls. On the plane, it is better to choose seats by the aisle so that the little fidget can get up without interference, warm up, completing, for example, a small assignment - ask the stewardess for a glass of water.
Step 6
So that the baby is not afraid to get lost, you can give him a small mascot toy, and write your mobile phone number on the cloth tag attached to it.
Step 7
As entertainment, various electronic gadgets are suitable: a tablet, a player, a mobile phone. Make sure in advance that the child has the opportunity to watch cartoons, listen to music or an audiobook, and play games.
