Anyone who has ever undertaken a long road trip with one or more toddlers in tow can understand why most parents dread the prospect. Sure, they’re cute and loveable, but children are also easily bored and prone to sudden bouts of unpredictability. Don’t blame the kids! With preparation and patience, traveling with toddlers needn’t be a completely unpleasant experience.
Rather than trying to make your child conform to the “rules of travel”, make your travel conform to the “rules of your child” by taking his changeling nature into account. Take note of when he becomes cranky, hungry, sleepy and playful, and pay special attention to what can trigger specific behaviors. When you understand what catapults him into gleeful bursts of unbridled energy, you have a better chance of circumventing unpleasant incidents. On the flip side, try to figure out the best methods of easing him into a more calm state of mind.
