The holiday season is coming to an end, which means that many of us will have to fly home in the near future. On the plane, we rarely enjoy the neighborhood with children, especially if the child is sitting behind us. He makes noise, pulls the back of our chair, knocks on it with his feet. Familiar? We offer some tips that will help both parents during a flight with children, and passengers who have become their unwitting victims.
Each of us at least once during the flight turned out to be a neighbor of a restless child. And perhaps he was the parent who blushes because of the behavior of his child. What to do in such cases? How to calm down a troublemaker?
1. Remove your child’s shoes
It is much more difficult to kick a chair with bare feet. Plus, it’s not painless. So for the passenger sitting in front, it will definitely be less sensitive.
2. Book yourself a seat in front of your child
Instead of sitting next to him, take a seat in front of him. Thus, the back of the parent, and not someone else’s passenger, will receive blows.
3. Take your child’s favorite toy animal on the road
An animal pillow or just a plush toy — every child travels with one. Put it in the pocket of the chair in front, and he will not kick his beloved friend. If the child does do this, say that you will take the toy if he “offends” it.
4. Carry a Large Printed Photo of Grandma with You
Attach it to the back of your seat on the plane. He can’t kick grandma!
5. Place your baby’s feet on your lap
So the child will be more comfortable and he will not physically be able to kick the seat in front.
6. Offer compensation to the injured passenger
If your child is bothering someone, offer that passenger to buy something to drink. That way you can apologize for the inconvenience.
7. Keep your child busy
A safe bet is to give your child your iPhone and tell them that if they hit the chair again, you will take the phone.
8. If you are the passenger being kicked by the child, contact him directly.
Turn around and tell your child to stop kicking because it hurts and makes you uncomfortable. This is likely to work, as children, especially those under the age of five, often do not listen to their parents and want to see how far they can go, but at the same time react immediately to a remark from a stranger.
It is a pity that the crew commander cannot walk around the cabin and call the children to order. They would definitely listen to him!
