It is common to any child to show temper tantrums during their toddler stage. The parents, especially the moms have their own creative ways of dealing with it. It is something that is unpredictable since one moment your toddler is just happily playing and laughing, then the next minute your toddler is screaming and throwing things. It would be easier if you are at home; however, it would be a different thing if you are in a flight. To other passengers who are also moms, that would be easier to understand, but how about the other passengers who would prefer a peaceful and quiet travel. Below are some suggestions in order to avoid temper tantrums.
Discuss your expectations ahead. It is recommended to have a talk with your toddler, the night before you travel. Set your toddler’s mind and tell him what you expect of him. Let him know what will happen during the flight. You can tell him that there are other passengers, so he needs to behave and be quiet. Tell him that he may not be able to walk around the plane.
Plan ahead and be ready. You know your toddler well and you are familiar what are the possible causes of his tantrums. Be prepared. Most commonly, toddlers get annoyed and start to show a different mood if feeling sleepy. Get your toddler to take a nap during the flight or make sure that he gets sufficient before the flight.
Keep them occupied. As much as possible, give them something to get busy with. Make sure that you have spares and back ups. It could be a nutritious snack or a toy. Bring something that is new to them to keep them excited and interested.
Give main consideration to your child. Even if you have done everything, it does not guarantee that things will work fine. You can apologize to other passengers in advance. Even if everybody seems to look at you with an accusing face, just stay calm and focus on your child. Touch him, hug him, rub his back or sing him a lullaby.
