What should I pay attention to when taking my children home for the New Year?

It's the biggest wish of the family to take their children home often for the Spring Festival, so that they can get home safely and reunite with their parents.

I hope I can help you with the following precautions:

1. Tired from a long journey

Parents who choose to drive by car for short distance or long distance must install qualified child safety seats in their cars. Before and after the Spring Festival, there is a large flow of people and cars, so the safety cannot be sloppy. If parents choose public transportation facilities to go home, some of them even need cars, trains and planes to transfer to each other. If you are a baby, you should also prepare the necessary items for the baby: thermos cups, bottles, diapers, wet paper towels, routine medicines for infants, etc., and bring a favorite toy or snack for the older baby, which can be used to distract attention when you are tired.

2. Pay attention to climate change

Some people will go back to their hometown from south to north and from east to west during the Spring Festival, and there will be changes in temperature and air humidity. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare children's clothes and pay attention to keeping them warm. In addition, there are many people in Spring Festival travel rush, and winter is the season with frequent influenza diseases. Therefore, we must pay attention to children's health problems and do a good job of increasing or decreasing clothes according to the temperature difference.

3. Pay attention to the diet problem

During the Spring Festival, there are intensive parties, visiting relatives and friends everywhere, and frequenting public places. Unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar people will make children feel psychological pressure and prone to rejection and irritability. Parents should care about their baby's feelings. In addition, during the Spring Festival, the food is greasy, mainly fish and meat, and the ingredients are miscellaneous, which may cause children's stomach discomfort. Parents should pay attention to food hygiene and start eating complementary food.

4. Avoid staying up late

Children may be excited or uncomfortable in the new environment. In addition, adults like to stay up late during the Spring Festival, and the sleeping habits formed by children are easy to be destroyed. Therefore, parents should try not to break their children's sleeping rules because of festivals. If they are babies, they should create a quiet environment to coax them to sleep at a fixed time to avoid crying.

If the baby is young, you should also pay attention to:

1. Tell the baby the travel plan in advance

① A few days before departure, the mother can tell the baby about the upcoming trip, so that the baby can be psychologically prepared.

② Mom and Dad should try their best to show their longing and expectation for traveling and give the baby a positive hint. Being infected by parents can reduce the baby's fear and resistance to the unknown.

③ You can show your baby some photos of your hometown or grandparents' home, especially when your hometown is far away from the city where you work and the climate is different. Doing so can arouse the baby's interest and increase his sense of expectation.

④ You can show your baby relevant picture books and tell him that the animals in the books are going to travel and explore. Does your baby want to explore with his parents?

2. Let the baby take part in packing

Mom can ask the baby to help with packing, and let the baby choose the clothes and toys to bring. When putting things into the suitcase, tell the baby that we are not going to throw away the toys, but to take them with us to explore. Let the baby have more sense of participation, which can increase his expectation for travel.

3. Bring more familiar articles for your baby

You can bring as many daily articles for your baby as possible, such as sheets and blankets for your baby to sleep at ordinary times, cups, bowls and spoons for eating, small toys that you don't leave your hands with every day, and favorite picture books. In short, choose some articles that are small and portable, but essential for your baby every day. With these familiar things, the baby will feel more secure and friendly.

4. Keep the baby's routine unchanged

Mothers should try their best to keep the baby's routine unchanged. Such as meal time, snack time, bath time, bedtime, bedtime ceremony, etc. During the Chinese New Year, when the baby is away from home, there will always be some different schedules in peacetime, such as New Year's greetings and going out to play, etc., but some daily routines can still be guaranteed, such as going to bed early at night and trying to let the child have a rest after lunch.

5. The room is arranged in a familiar way

If conditions permit, mother can decorate the room in her hometown as much as possible as at home, such as putting his favorite plush toys on the bedside table and putting his usual sheets and sleeping bags on the bed. Also, you need to pay attention to where the baby sleeps, whether it is by the window, etc. Through the placement of familiar items, try to reduce the baby's strangeness, so as to alleviate his anxiety and anxiety.

6. Keep company and avoid other changes

Try to avoid other major changes in your baby's life. If you don't do toilet training, sleep training, etc. during this time, so as not to increase your baby's discomfort and conflict. Parents should also spend more time with their babies, and don't patronize themselves to get together with old friends or play mobile phones.

7. Give your baby a "vaccination"

There are many delicious foods in the New Year, so you need to communicate with your baby in advance and control your diet slightly to prevent eating bad stomachs. Spring Festival is much more fun, so you need to warn your baby to pay attention to safety in advance, especially when setting off firecrackers. There are many children in the New Year, so tell your baby in advance what to do if there is a conflict with other small partners. If the baby is younger, parents need to pay attention to these aspects and protect the baby.

8. Be careful about the temperature difference

It is cold in the New Year, so parents need to have a general understanding of the temperature difference between the two places and prepare clothes with appropriate thickness. If it snows, they need to prepare waterproof clothes for their babies to prevent them from getting wet and freezing. It is necessary to take the baby out for a walk and bask in the sun properly, and the time should be controlled within 3 minutes. There is often beautiful snow outdoors in winter. Babies are very interested in white snow and always want to go out and play with big brothers and sisters. Mom and dad try not to let the baby go out to play in the snow for too long to prevent the baby from frostbite.

9. Don't forget the regular medicines.

Going home for the New Year is full of joy, but parents also need to be aware of preventive measures, and carry regular medicines, such as antipyretic stickers, stomach-invigorating and digestion-promoting medicines, so as not to be blinded when they are in urgent need.

1. Don't let the baby set off fireworks

Babies like watching fireworks best and will be interested in trying to set off fireworks. However, remind parents that when taking their babies (boys) to watch fireworks and firecrackers, they should go to a safe place to watch them, and if necessary, they can also wear protective glasses to prevent the sparks generated by fireworks and firecrackers from hurting their eyes. If the baby must try to set off fireworks, don't let the baby set off alone, let it down under the guidance of parents, and don't let the baby get too close to avoid hurting the baby during the fireworks display.

11. Don't go to crowded places

During the spring, everyone will go out to buy new year's goods or visit temple fairs and parks. No matter supermarkets, shopping malls or temple fairs, there will be many people. If you often take your baby to these places, on the one hand, it will make your baby prone to various epidemic diseases; on the other hand, if you don't take good care of your baby, you will be in danger of losing it.

12. Don't be too indulgent with your baby

During festivals, mothers will unconsciously indulge their baby (having a boy). However, parents should know that babies are most likely to develop bad habits during this period, such as cheating and hitting people, which will be brought into daily life after the holiday. Therefore, parents must not spoil and indulge their babies during festivals. Some rules that must be observed should not be loosened because it is Chinese New Year, lest it is difficult to correct after forming bad habits.
