A trip with a child on a train is always a stress, because he has to spend a long time in a confined space where he can not run, there is not the variety of toys to which he is accustomed. There are also other people around who are unlikely to experience wild ecstasy from childish screaming. It seems that your child has become whimsical and simply unmanageable. In fact, he may just be bored for a long time in such a situation and he tries to entertain himself as he can. Therefore, if you are going to travel in the train with a small child in the future, you should take care of the entertainment for him in advance.
What can I do to take the child on the train?
Before you go on a railway trip, you can ask the child what it will be possible to entertain on the train. Perhaps he will tell you what toys he wants to take with him. If you are trying to choose on your own what to take the child to train, then you should pay attention to such toys as:
- coloring;
- children's books with bright pictures and rhymes;
- plasticine ;
- portable dvd player with cartoons (do not forget the headphones);
- cardboard puzzles;
- magnetic board with a set of figures, letters or numbers;
- children's dominoes;
- developing board games in boxes (for example, pictures-halves, the game "Find Mom Kiddies Animals", etc.);
- two or three toys from home that the child loves most;
- a few new toys that can be offered to the baby if he begins to be capricious.
Since the trip on the train will be new for the child, the most important thing that he can get is communication with other people. You can invite him to get acquainted with the neighbors on the coupe. If in the car there are still families with young children, then you can offer to play together in quiet games.
If you look at the child through the window, he will certainly like the game of "Association". For example, you choose a cloud, and each one thinks out what it might look like.
If the child travels by train the first time, then the train itself will be for him a great toy, which can be studied. Walk along the corridor, show the baby where the toilet is, from where you can take water for brewing tea, where luggage is stored in the car, etc. And if as entertainment for children on the train you take a variety of toys, then such a trip will be remembered by the child for a long time. And you can relax at least a little.
