Tickets have been bought, suitcases are packed, but the trip is in doubt, because the kid refuses to fly. Unfortunately, these situations are ubiquitous. And this fear is easy to defeat!
Usually, the fear of flying appears at the age of 4-6 years, and the reason is often the stories of adults about unsuccessful flights or the programs accidentally seen by a child about plane crashes. Keep your own calm. Children always feel the state of their parents intuitively. Therefore, even if you yourself are afraid to fly or are very worried, pull yourself together and do not show your baby your emotions. Switch the child's attention. If he has already flown, focus not on the flight itself, but on what awaits him on vacation - tell us what entertainment and games will be there. Is the baby flying for the first time? Describe to him, for example, what interesting views will be from the window during the flight. You can show similar videos or watch movies with children traveling together. Take a guided tour. If your city has an airport, be sure to take your child there and show how the planes take off and land. If this is not possible, show the kid pictures with the aircraft device, such are sold in bookstores. Read more stories about flying in the sky. Buy your child new toys, albums, pencils, take them with you, and give them to him at the airport, so he can be distracted and forget about his worries for a while. If there are other children nearby, focus your baby's attention on them, let them get to know each other, and join the game. Fear will definitely be defeated!
