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
