Talk about what is likely to happen in advance
Talk about the familiar things that your child will have or see on this trip
As you begin packing several days prior to your flight, have a conversation with your child about the familiar things that she will experience in the airport. For example, you may want to plan to eat a meal in a familiar restaurant such as McDonalds in the airport. Bringing along your daughter’s favorite books will give her a sense that she is surrounded by some familiar items in a noisy and unfamiliar environment. Packing homemade snacks will also give your child the sense that some of the comforts of home are accompanying her on this journey.
