TRAVEL SICKNESS
Travel sickness is a problem that many of us have had to cope with especially if we have children. Children are quite often sick in the car, or in the boat, or in the plane, or any time that they are subject to motion.
When children get travel sickness or motion sickness there are quite a few things you can do and one of the most important is to keep them busy and occupied. Word games are a good idea as they have to keep looking out of the window and so they are not looking at things within the car. Reading while driving is not a good idea as it can upset their balance and cause them to be sick. Encourage them to look at the scenery and point out things as they are going along. Most effective is to put the sick child in the front seat.
Don’t let them eat greasy foods and fill them up with foods that are going to make them nauseous. What you should be looking at is to give the children wholesome foods the night before and a small breakfast before travelling as it is very important that they do have something to eat and drink.
One of the things that I have used successfully is ginger. Ginger is often used in cooking, but to take ginger before you go on the trip and during the trip, can really make a difference in the prevention of motion sickness. It does not have the harsh side effects of some antihistamines and other travel-sickness medications. Ginger is gentle to the stomach, helps with flatulence, and also helps the digestive system.
