Family-Friendly Travel Tips and Products Created For Children's
Safety
Families Flying Together Times have changed since 1994 when our
children were young. We arrived at the airport, all excited
about our vacation to Florida. On this trip the kids packed a
few personal items to keep themselves entertained during the
flight. When we arrived at the security gate our youngest son's
bag set off the alarm, which was no problem. It was a friend
traveling with us who almost created a major incident by
laughing as he made a reference to our son's small army men and
guns. Even at this time the security officer said it was a
serious matter not to be taken lightly. Today, jokes like this
can result in delays, detention, hefty fines, or jail.
When preparing for a flight speak to your children about the
screening process before you arrive at the airport. As we did at
the time of our friend's outburst; we explained such jokes are
taken serious; this is especially true in our world today.
Explain to your children what to expect at security checkpoints
so they are prepared and not frightened. If traveling with a
large family asks if a private screening if possible to avoid
delays.
"Be Aware Of Your Environment"
Some of the simplest lessons we teach our children are those
which can save their lives. Although our sons are all older now
I still find myself advising them to, "Be Aware Of Their
Environment". It's a simple statement which means nothing to a
stranger, but our children understand its importance. To be
aware of your environment includes a few basic rules like
looking both ways before crossing the street and never talking
to strangers or when they get older, which strangers may be
dangerous. When they were older it included knowing when to
leave a situation or where to find the closest exit, or when to
scream and run for help in an emergency. It's true; in today's
world you can never be too safe. This doesn't mean you need to
fear traveling and enjoying a vacation with your family and
friends. It simple means everyone traveling with you should be
aware of their environment for their own safety.
