We have all heard screaming kids on the plane, mothers trying to calm them down, melt downs of huge proportions. This video has five tips to help out in situations like this to help those parents who have those melting down kids on airplanes. Whether it is a transatlantic flight or a puddle jumper these are little things you can do to help. 1. Try to entertain the child: playing peekaboo or talking to the child or making silly faces can help a child calm down. Having that unknown face engage with them can make them happy or at least snap them out of it as it is a face they don't know. 2. Carry Earplugs: Simple cheap earplugs from your local pharmacy can be a life saver. Some kids there is nothing you can do to calm them down. So the best thing you can do is cut out the sound by getting earplugs or noise canceling headphones. And if you have those earplugs they help with the snoring business man next to you, the overly chatting flyer the row in front of you, or the drunk college student who won't stop talking about Cancun. 3. Pass Them a Piece of Candy: best to give the candy to the parent so they can decide, but the candy can take the kids mind off of having a fit or the parent can have it for themselves to help them calm their nerves. 4. Offer to Help with the Child: sometimes the parent just needs an extra set of hands for a minute. Whether that is to open up a packet of formula or to get a diaper ready or just to get out a toy for the child. Offer to help and that gesture of kindness can really help those parents out. 5. Smile at the parent: they are having a rough time and having people stare at you and give you the evil eye just ramps up the tension and frustration of the parent trying to calm the child. A simple smile reassures the parents that you understand and helps them calm themselves down, which helps calm the child down

I always wonder if parents know in advance they won't be able to control a child on a plane and not being able to control the child will not surprisingly create a problem for everyone on the plane. When I was a child and misbehaved in public my parents punished me. the punishment was being excluded from the next trip and getting the cold silent treatment for awhile. That's how I learned the consequences of bad behavior that seems to be allowed so freely in public today. Parents also seem unaware that even though THEY may have a high tolerance level for certain types of behavior, not everyone else does.

It's not my job to help with other people's kids. It is the parent's job to control them. You need to be respectful for others who paid the same money for that flight. They did not sign up to listen to your grubby kids screaming and bawling for 6 hours. The kids rights do not supersede those of the adults on the plane. Many parents just zone out and let the child scream and throw a tantrum until it annoys everyone on the plane. I have seen this time and again where the most patient of adults eventually start to lose their shit.

Throw the damn thing off and bill the selfish parents for any costs incurred. Its time the silent majority spoke up against these selfish and inconsiderate parents. Airlines should put them all together in the back of the plane like they used to do with smokers and let them annoy each other. Flights are expensive and the least I expect is to travel in comfort and peace and quiet. Its ironic that these brats are on the plane for free but they make life a misery for fare paying passengers. Its not on. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I first flew in a plane when i was 5 yo. I was well behaved during the flight, didn't run up and down the aisle, bored but didn't scream because of boredom and neither because of take-off. I was only crying and screaming when the landing commenced. My ears hurt so much, at least it felt like it for me then. Since then i fly at 2 times every year during summer vacation, I've been very well behaving on flights ever since.

It's one thing to have to visit ill relatives with a kid, but most of these kids are being drug on a vacation they are too young to ever remember. Parents- If you must go on vacation with your young kids, please don't travel to a place requiring a long, international flight. It isn't fair to the other passengers, and it isn't fair to your kid. It's understandable if you are having to visit ill relatives.

There should be an optional flights for people to be able to fly without children under 12 especially on international and long flights. Just as there are different types and classes of airline tickets. To ask 200 or more adult passengers to put up with a screaming kid on a plane for hours on end is totally ridiculous. If an adult screamed for hours on end they would kick him off of the plane.

Uh the help one doesn't always work one time this woman next to me with like a 2-3 yr looking rather tired I asked her if she needed any help. To that she responded oh thank you yes could you maybe play with him for a bit ok slightly weird but ok. Next thing I know she's moved to the seat 2 rows away with her husband and I was stuck with a 2-3 yr old kid for 5 hours BLAM just like dat

Fantastic video Jocelyn! Do you have the same tips for trains? I'd always worry about saying anything to another parent with a screaming kid incase it seems like I'm saying I could do a better job? but I always make sure I throw a smile to the struggling parent. some people can be so weird about kids being around it's like don't they remember they were a kid once themselves
reply

Kids that cry 24hrs just means they have incompetent parents. Scream at the parents: ) especially the ones that arent doing anything while their angels are going nuts. The whole world doesnt benefit by being kind with parents the arent making an effort to begin with.

Thanks for the tips. I have an eight year old daughter but she's quite use to flying. She's been doing that since she was 6 months so it's a different story with her. But yea, next time we'll bring chocolates or something for that. Thanks for sharing.
