1. When Possible, Stick to Routines: This applies especially for younger travelers. Consistent meal times and naps, combined with keeping up familiar habits, like reading a book before bed, keeps the stress of the unfamiliar to a minimum. 2. Be Prepared: Unusual schedules and unfamiliar faces can cause anxiety. Pack a bag of favorite toys to have on hand and be prepared to escape with your child to a quiet room for a little one-on-one time. 3. Use that Energy! Encourage physical exercise. It releases tension and burns excess energy. Plan daily for at least two half-hour opportunities for physical activities and play. 4. Schedule Light: Activity overload tires everyone out.

But have realistic expectations. Even if you are in a special place, your child is still a child and will act like one. 7. Follow Your Child's Lead: Your child will let you know when she is done. Listen to her, even if you have not done everything you planned for the day's agenda. Trying to fit in that last event could lead to a major meltdown. 8. Schedule Down Time: For your child, doing something special with people he knows and loves best is the most important. He will not care that you packed every moment with a new adventure. Schedule time for the immediate family to unwind. 9. Be Present: Share in your child's vacation experience. Seeing things through their eyes and talking with them about what they feel enhances the sense of adventure and being together. 10. Encourage Learning:
