Tips for Children on Planes
Two tips.
One. Many children cry because their ears hurt with the changes in
pressure. Their little Eustachian tubes do not equalize pressure as
well as adults tubes do. Please mention to parents to train their
children how to equalize pressure (first, trying yawning several
times; second, plug nose and close mouth and try to exhale without
letting air escape).
Two. All travelers should carry industrial foam earplugs. They work
really well.
Sadly, we cannot do much about kids who kick the seat behind us. Or
the lummox who intends to force his seat back constantly. Maybe Miss
Manners, Judith Martin needs to be your guest!
Thanks for the great show. I listen on WHQR, Wilmington, NC
