Foreign Travel With Kids
If traveling to another country with your children, be sure to bring all birth certificates, passports and documentation with you. Single parents traveling with children should bring a letter signed by the other parent giving permission for travel listing dates, location and names of those in the travel party.
Driving Distractions & Children
When driving, children can be a distraction in the car. If there is another adult passenger, it is best to let them handle most of the interactions so you can keep your attention on the road.
Next time we will look at foreign travel with kids.
Car Safety & Children
When driving children for a long family trip, often kids need items to keep them occupied. Be aware that loose items in the car can be thrown or become missiles in the event of a crash or sudden stop. Make sure loose items including DVD players, laptops, purses, CD’s, gifts, etc. are secured in either the trunk, console area, or under a cargo net. Only provide children with soft toys and games to play in the car.
Tomorrow we will cover how to not get distracted while driving children.
Are We There Yet?
Another great car traveling tip when driving with children is to give them a map. They can see where you are at the moment and how far you have until you reach your destination. This will help with the “are we there yet” question.
Next time we will look at how to keep everyone safe during a family trip. Stay tuned.
