There is nothing worse than being stuck 30 Darian Thompson Jersey ,000 feet off the ground in an airplane for hours listening to a screaming child especially if that screaming child is yours! So how can you keep those young children amused and well behaved for those long and short flights? First off, keep your expectations realistic when traveling by plane. No one has a perfect child who is always well behaved. But there are ways to help minimize boredom and fussiness when it comes to your child. Here are some tips to make those plane rides a little easier.
Schedule your flight times to coincide with your child's normal sleeping schedule (in other words, the red-eye).
Tell your children what to expect, what you expect of them and to respect the other people. Let them know that they can't yell on the plane or kick the backs of other passenger's seats. Explain security procedures, customs and immigration Wayne Gallman Jersey , take-off and landing, baggage claim and claim checks, and so on.
Make sure older children know the basics of safety such as not wandering off alone or talking to strangers in the airport. Make sure they know their first and last name, parent's name, phone numbers and address. For smaller children you can write their name on the inside of all their clothes with or sew in a name label. This will help if they get lost and forget their last name.
Allow yourself plenty of time at the airport so you are not rushed. The stress of rushing through the airport may be carried onto the plane as well by both parents and children.
Non-stop flights are not always the best idea with children especially long ones. An hour or so break in an airport in the middle of a long journey can actually be a good idea.
Pack coloring books and pens Landon Collins Jersey , books to read and to be read to, cards, dolls, stickers, toys Ereck Flowers Jersey , and stuffed animals. Segregate them into sealable plastic bags and only allow one activity at a time per child.
Avoid any toys that make noise, Play-doh or anything sticky, balls and other round objects, Legos and other toys made up of little bitty objects and board games with small pieces.
Keep your kids well fed so they don't get cranky. Many adults frown upon airline food so you can only imagine how your picky child might react to it. Bring your own supplies of sandwiches, fruit Sterling Shepard Jersey , and snacks in sealable plastic bags.
Bring along a pillow, small blanket and favorite stuffed toy. If your child is comfortable they will be more likely to take a nap and sometimes airplanes can be cold.
Make sure you have what you need for emergencies and problems. Some good things to consider are a sick bag, anti-nausea medications, gum, earache medication Eli Apple Jersey , change of clothes, and teething gel and diapers depending on the age of your child.
Most airlines will allow car seats on the plane. It's safer for your child and will make them feel like the place is comfortable and familiar even though it's foreign.
If all else fails and your child is still unruly just hope that there are other children on board who are worse! Author's Resource Box

LONDON, May 16 (Xinhua) -- Ian Brady, the slayer of children who became known as the notorious Moors murderer has died in a secure hospital aged 79.
Brady and his lover accomplice Myra Hindley shocked Britain in the 1960s for the way they lured young children, tortured and killed them Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , and buried their bodies on a remote moorland on the outskirts of Manchester. The couple tape recorded the crying pleas for mercy from their young victims.
So heinous were their crimes, Brady and Hindley, who died in prison in 2002, will go down in criminal history as two of the worst murderers of the 20th century.
Officials at the high security Ashworth Hospital on the outskirts of Liverpool confirmed Monday night that their most notorious patient had died. Brady had spent years campaigning to be moved to an ordinary prison because at Ashworth, a psychiatric hospital Evan Engram Jersey , he was force fed during periods when he was on hunger strike. Media reports said Brady had been receiving palliative care suffering from terminal cancer.
The Daily Mirror tabloid newspaper reflected the mood of the nation with a front page banner headline Tuesday saying ""Burn in Hell Brady"" while the Metro national newspaper on its front page describes Brady as a monster who became one of the most notorious killers of the 20th century.
Brady has taken to his grave the location of the grave of one of his victims, Keith Bennett, aged 12, whose body has never been found. He was one of five young children to die at the hands of Brady and Hindley. Bennett's mother died in 2012 without ever being able to give her son a decent funeral after Brady ignored her desperate pleas to him to reveal where the boy's body had been left. Bennett's family continue their search to this day for his body.
Brady was given a life sentence in 1966 for three child murders and he later confessed to two more. Hindley was also jailed for life.
A Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust spokesman said their most infamous patient died after becoming physically unwell.
Four of the victims were buried on Saddleworth Moor, on the Pennines Eli Manning Jersey , the mountains that straddle Northern England.
At the trial of Brady and Hindley the jury had to listen to the heartbreaking tape recordings of their victims, pleading for their lives.
The slaying of Brady and Hindley's youngest victim, Lesley Ann Downey, aged 10, at Christmastime in 1964 sealed their reputation for pure wickedness.
The girl's final moments alive were recorded by her killers in a harrowing 16-minute long audio tape.
