Traveling over the holidays.....yes, Virginia, we all have to do it!
If you are traveling via car, you likely already have an idea of how your child will do. Bring lots of books, games or videos they can entertain themselves with. Bringing snacks and water is also a good idea as well as taking a break every hour to let them stretch their legs.
When our girls were smaller, we actually had a grab bag of small toys that were wrapped that they got to chose and open every XXX amount of miles/minutes in the car. It was something they looked forward to doing and then they were entertained for a little while.
Some kids can't stand road noise and noise cancelling headphones are their best friend along with a comfort blanket too.
If you don't have a huge long car trip planned....bring two cars. Trust me, you will be glad to be able to head home after a short visit....sometimes the lucky parent is the one who gets to go home with their child ~ ha!
Santa has the right idea...only visit people once a year ~ Victor Borge ;)
