# First long weekend coming around Sankranti/Lohri/Pongal
Planning to travel for a long week end. Here are a few tips.
Travelling with your kid is a blessing but at the same time, it can be exhausting and frustrating. Since I’ve had a lot of experience flying with my child, I thought it would be helpful to pass along some of my most useful tips!
Don’t cram the day
No one wants grouchy, stroppy, overtired kids… and parents. You know your own kids, don’t push them too far. Give yourself lots of time in your day, and trust me, everyone will be in a better mood. And if you find that you have time in your day for more, well that’s fantastic!
Plan your food times
It is also usually much healthier for the kids if you have snacks and water from home. When you’re out and about, it is usually not the best food for their health so with some preparation you can be sure to feed them well.
Make time to nap
Naps are an essential part of a young child’s day, and as parents, we know that it is important not to skip a nap.
Less is more!
In short, my tip for a successful day out is to not plan too much. I don’t set high expectations for myself, for them, or the day in general.; I go with the flow … and listen to them, a bowl of ice cream and a fun activity goes long way!
