Stress Free Tips for Traveling with Kids
| December 3, 2018
Try to stick to your routine
Traveling as a family isn’t cheap and you might be tempted to opt for a red eye flight in order to save a few bucks. But will those few extra dollars in savings be worth it when you end up having to deal with a brood of cranky, tired kids? Being jet lagged won’t just affect their sleep cycles, it can affect their meal and bathroom schedules as well — so try to stay as close to their usual routine as possible. If you’re traveling to a locale that will make jet lag unavoidable, try to make sure your children get plenty sunlight and activity during the day and make their bedroom as dark as possible at night in order to help them adjust to the new time zone more easily.
