Pregnancy and childbirth, you safely survived and plunged into an amazing and completely different world of life with the baby.

Dreams of rest, new travels and places visit you more and more often. But the question is - how to implement them with a tiny hand? Let's talk in more detail.

At what age is it better to travel with a child?

There are so many opportunities to travel and expand your horizons in our time. And the kids on trips seem to be growing faster
They have new skills, they see the variety of landscape and sincerely rejoice at their discoveries. The main thing is that a native person is a mother or dad or both are nearby
Only you know the story of your pregnancy, childbirth, the state of health of the crumbs. Therefore, you can decide from what age a child can safely go on vacation, where and for what time is the time
In the first months of life, crumbs, perhaps psychologically, it is difficult for young parents to even allow the idea of \u200b\u200bdistant trips. But already closer to six months after the appearance of a little man in the family, they decide to travel
Until the moment the baby does not walk, you completely control the situation on the road. And then be ready to actively move along the interior of the aircraft or make long stops, traveling by car, and satisfy the need for your baby to study the world
Probably the most difficult for long trips is the age of 1-2 years. When the baby needs to be in time everywhere, try everything, express his discontent and sometimes exhaust the parent completely. But be patient and train calm if you are still going to relax with children of this age
Let those around strangers make comments and grumble, do not miss the line at the airport - this will all end soon. And it is more important to preserve your nerves and not break into your beloved baby. Remember - on trips with kids problems either easily solve, or simply pass

How to take children on a trip?

When collecting suitcases on a trip, pay special attention to children's bags, namely toys and means of entertainment of crumbs.

Possessing a natural interest in the knowledge of the world and all surrounding objects, children in most cases entertain themselves. Therefore, parents should not bother hard.

Take your favorite toy or rattle of a child with you, a book with stickers, a small set of magnets. And on the way back, please him with something new that you bought in advance at the vacation spot. All the same, it will be more interesting for him to play with:

remote control
headphones
your tablet
slippers on an airplane
plastic dishes
newspapers and magazines
trucks

So do not puzzle on the topic of toys for the crumbs during the trip. And save a place in the suitcase.

Or, for a grown child, put at your discretion:

coloring with pencils
a small notebook
lotto, large puzzles
checkers/chess on the magnet

In general, everything that is small and light, but already interesting for specific childhood.

Games for children on a trip

In addition to toys, a tablet with cartoons and audiobooks/songs, kids need to be entertained by games.

If you play a lot with children, then you are filled with the arsenal of games. But sometimes fantasy fails and write them well in a notebook:

game of cities, associations
"Cow" or pantomime
"Who am I?" - On the leaf, you write the name of the animal and attach to the hair the participant of the game so that it does not see. He asks questions to the rest, receiving the answer “yes” or “no”. The one who guessed. Similar game “What is this?” When a subject is made in sight
we count objects outside the window, for example, of the same color or the same animals
silenka is relevant when the parents shortly exhausted from an active baby
finger games and theater
ladushki, Magpie-Vorona-for the smallest travelers
cross-knits, naval battle
funny picture - draw on a sheet of paper in turn and wrap the drawing. When the sheet ends, unfold and laugh
games with a bag or bag - we put different objects inside and take turns, lowering your hand inward, guess them. Or we come up with different funny tasks, write them on pieces of paper, take turns from the bag and perform
what has changed - on a flat surface we lay out everything that is at hand, the participants look and remember the location of objects. Then they turn away, the leader changes objects, everyone turns and guess
guess the melody, singing your favorite songs
tongue twisters and poems

The list of games is far from exhaustive. Use with pleasure and invent/add yours.

Trips with children: tips and reviews

Each family with children who traveled at least once has its own individual travel experience. Therefore, it can share his observations and tips. However, we denote some:

sleep and wakefulness time - develop a sleep mode for a child. Relevant if you are going to the country with a big hourly difference
aclimatization and reactionization should take place according to a gentle scheme, when 5 days you are not with your child for too long on the street
vaccinations should not be done to the baby two weeks before and after the trip
think about the nutrition of the crumbs - not all hotels provide separately the children's table, some of those that they offer are stake, fries and chips. Better remove the apartments with the kitchen and cook food yourself
study the range of children's goods of another country - are there diagrams and baby food in banks that suits you. Save the place in the suitcase and the amount of baggage
do not save on charter flights. Transplants are not as terrible as they seem, and a walk at the airport with the child will distract him, and will give you a respite before the next flight
rest with a child will cost you more
provide yourself constant access to the Internet
find out the addresses of the nearest hospitals in the places of your stops
turn up for positive and good rest with children.
