Preparation for the unexpected, as well as the expected can make the travel to the destination a less fraught battle. The Basics Parents often wonder about ways to keep their children occupied on the journey. They sometimes overlook the jaunt to the store or a friend's house. Travel is can mean going to the grocery or enjoying a fun filled week in the Bahamas. Being prepared for any occasion can make even the simplest drive less daunting.
Children have their moments in which they are the easiest to handle.
Some children are their best in the morning, making it easier for the parent to accomplish errand running at that time. Other children are not early birds and prefer the afternoon, in which case, the parents of these children can get the most done then. Some children like to sleep in the car and some don't. Knowing your child can make a difficult trip easier. Parents who understand their child and the needs that may arise during travel time can best prepare themselves for the journey.
