3 . There are some children who love to fly and then there are the kids who are afraid of the unknown. The following tips may help you if you want to travel with your children by plane.

●    1     If you tell the child he will soon be flying on an airplane and leave it at that, his imagination can turn to fear. Instead, tell him how wonderful it is to fly.

● Don’t tell children about the dangers of flying.     2    And you can promise him that the plane will not crash.

● Read a book to your children.     3    Reading may also make your children fall asleep.

● Bring a comfort thing that your child enjoys.     4     Be sure to bring that blanket along as it will provide a safety net for the child. Having this blanket along may also help him fall asleep. Bring a safe electronic device that shows movies or supports video games, and offers children puzzles.

● Bring snacks. Children are picky eaters and may not like the food being offered. Three to five hours can be a long time on an airplane without food.     5     When they are upset, it is easier to let fear of the unknown take control.

A．Children may get upset when they are hungry.

B．Tell your children how much fun it is to fly before the trip.

C．Most kids have a stuffed animal or a blanket that they love.

D．If a child brings them up, tell him that flying is perfectly safe.

E．Leave a little extra time so you can make your children walk.

F．Bring a favorite book and a new book your kids have never read.

G．Your phone is another favorite tool for keeping them happy on a flight.
