There is more to flying with toddlers than keeping them entertained and hoping for good behavior on the plane: there are long lines at busy airports, security checkpoint(s), boarding the plane, sitting in confined space that shakes and makes noise, not to mention puts sometimes incredible pressure on little ones' ears, and travel etiquette issues like not kicking the seats in front... and although airport and airline personnel try to be helpful it is up to the families to prepare their children for the problems that can arise with air travel such as lengthy delays, and long line-ups.

How can we as parents expect children to be well behaved - especially when traveling - if they don't know what to expect and what is expected of them? Prepare your toddler to fly!

The Shae By Air DVD Toolkit™ was developed in conjunction with child development specialists and travel professionals and lets little children see a good example set, hear the process explained in words that encourage, not frighten, and give them the ability to do something - to be a part of the trip. The DVD Toolkit™ includes the live action movie, the packing list that 3-year-old Shae uses in the movie, as well as two luggage tags. Helping pack makes it Shae's trip too, not just something she is dragged along on. The Shae by Air DVD Toolkit™ will help prepare your child for the long lines and the security checkpoint (removing shoes and coats, walking through the beeping metal detector) and the ear popping that accompanies takeoff and landing.



Other tools for your travel preparation arsenal may include the books and additional video below, which are primarily about airplanes, how they work, the noises they make, etc.
