Hints for preparing your children for the plane trip. Try to book flights that are in the day or early evening so if your child is restless they are causing minimal upset to other passengers who may be wanting to sleep on a night flight. Prepare a goody bag with things that are new to the child to keep them interested. Be prepared to spend the time actually amusing your child yourself by reading to them or assisting them with their new goodies. Bring plenty of food, even junk food if it will keep them quiet.Make them afraid of being put off the plane by the hostess or the captain, very afraid in fact so they tend to obey your commands. Prepare them by making them stay in their car seats for several weeks before without undoing their seat belts. Do not in any circumstance alloy them out of their seat to move around the plane or take them for a walk because you will then spend the whole flight walking around the plane as they will not return to their allocated seat.Tell them that the devil incarnate is sitting in front and if they kick the seat they will be killed or something just as dire.If you are one of those parents who cannot control their children you may have to resort to some good old phenergan so you and all the other passengers get a bit of respite from their demands and whining. If you are one of those parents who do not wish to medicate your child then it is best that you leave them at home because other people do not love your children as you do.
