Car Sick!
Tips to help kids travel
Nothing makes a family car trip more miserable than a kid with motion sickness. You feel sorry for the child, sorry for yourself, and sorry you ever tried the trip in the first place.
Still, trips are a part of life and you can make it easier.
According to planningwithkids.com, be sure before you start out that you are prepared, but haven’t primed the pump, so to speak. Don’t remind kids of their motion sickness or, focus on old stories. Emphasize what fun the trip will be and remind them that you are well prepared if they do get sick.
Nonetheless, prepare.
1 Keep a sick kit on board with a dry towel, wet towel, wipes, container and plastic bags.
2 Prepare some ginger drinks before the trip. Ginger helps prevent and treat nausea.
3 Prior to the trip, practice deep breathing. Inhale slowly through the nose for four seconds. Exhales slowly for the count of four.
Plan the drive:
1 Take a straight route, no matter what. Turns are the enemy.
2 Put towels or blankets over the windows if it is possible that sunlight will come in during the trip.
3 Make sure the car is cool and well ventilated.
4 Prepare some podcasts or audible entertainment. No screens or books.
Finally, remind the kids if they feel bad they should let someone know. There is plenty of time to stop.
