Coping with a child's tantrum on a plane

How do you avoid becoming the family that got kicked off an airplane after their crying 3-year-old refused to take her seat? Experts say rewarding kids for cooperation, distracting them with simple games and telling them in advance what's going to happen can help. But at the end of the day, you may just have to take control, restrain the child, and comply with the rules. Ref. Source

I haven't taken my 2 youngest on a plane yet, for this exact reason, so can't say that I'm an expert at it, but when I do decide to take the risk, I think that I will be going armed with loads of coloring books, paper and crayons, and will explain firmly to them that if they want the treat of going on a plane, they have to behave themselves, or they will not be offered the opportunity again!

I took my eldest son when he was 3 to Florida, and although he talked non stop for a full 11 hours of flight, he behaved himself well, and I think that in most family situations,most children will be so excited that they will want to watch everything that's going on. Obviously there are going to be the exceptions to this, and you're not really going to know unfortunately until you've tried them, which leaves this case in question, of one that not everyone is ever going to agree fully on!

Sounds like Felipe... actually that beats Felipe! Actually when Felipe was going with us to Argentina and back to here it was a big concern for us. On the way to Argentina there was no medication so we bought new games and things to keep him occupied and it worked reasonably well. The sound of the airplane engines was a natural 'lullaby' so he did sleep - thank goodness. On the way back he had his medication and there was little to no problems.

Awesome solution to horrible kids on planes. KIDS on planes are the absolute worst. Most people agree that families should sit in a separate section, but Jo Thornely has an even better idea. Source 9t.

I doubt something like this will happen as the kids will start to bully each other after learning it from thier parents and other kids. Or a child will get harmed. I think it would be a lot better if parents actually took their time and taught their kids how to behave in public.

I feel children should have their own part of the plane. Its not fair for someone to get the unlucky draw of having to sit next to a talkative or restless child for 3-6 hours!
