This may be due to several reasons: firstly, in small children a car or other type of transport may cause a feeling of fear, because this is an unusual place where the child is practically alone. As a rule, parents sit in the front, and if they are near, they cannot take him in their arms. Secondly, the situation of the vehicle is not attractive enough for the baby and it is difficult for him to occupy himself. The kids are active and eager to explore the world, they cannot just sit quietly and look out the window, therefore they are clearly expressing their displeasure. Thirdly, the child may simply be uncomfortable: uncomfortable to sit, hot or cold. Many little travelers are swayed, and this causes not only discomfort, but also fear. It is not as difficult to fight as it seems at first glance. In the first case, the child should be gradually accustomed to the car: sit down with him, take him in his arms, but first do not go anywhere. You can also allow to touch everything that he wants, to acquaint with the surrounding space and to tell about everything that he is interested in. Thus, the situation will no longer be frightening, but, most likely, will become a new interesting place.

Here you have to distract your baby from external irritants. There are a lot of ways to do this: you can take a bunch of toys with you, you can play finger games with him, sing songs, read books. But when there is no opportunity to take with them big bags filled with children's entertainment, children's educational mobile apps and games come to the aid on phones and tablets that take up little space and are always at hand. One of the most popular today is “Papers”, “Arkady Locomotives” and “Mi-Mi-bears”, created by Russian developers based on the same-named animated series on the MULT TV channel. Children are happy to be distracted by them and cease to be capricious. In addition, these games are being developed - the child can learn to draw, not messing around, prepare a virtual lunch and feed his favorite characters, clean the room, mi-mi bears, feed the fish, assemble a puzzle. And for older kids there are fascinating puzzles. If a child wants to see his favorite cartoons on a trip, then for this there is an application "Mult". It contains only good cartoons: "Fairy Patrol", "Arkady Locomotives", "Mi-Mi-Bears", "Papers", "Tim and Tom" and "Magic Lantern". They can be downloaded in the application at home and look at the trip without advertising and the Internet. If all this does not help, then most likely you have a third reason: the child is uncomfortable. Check whether the child has warm hands and nose, has he sweated, or try to ask him in simple words: “Do you feel hot, cold, do you feel sick, sore?” So that he can say yes or no. The most difficult situation is when the baby is swayed, but it is also completely solvable. In this case, you need to contact a neurologist, he will prescribe special children's drugs that will relieve symptoms, or tell you how and when to properly feed the child before the trip.
