Although travel plans and vacations are a welcomed break from routine for adults, they are also an interruption of the familiar routines of your child. Most young children depend on and thrive on routine. They may not know how to react or handle this upheaval in their schedule. You should keep this in mind if your child's behavior becomes eratic and disruptive.

If your travel is one of the vacation variety, you should choose the activity level and aspects of your choice against the ages of the children.
