Long road trips can be a nightmare for traveling adults with young kids. Nap times are off, boredom sets in, cranky children can be aggravating. But remember to put yourself in the child's shoes.

1. Their legs or arms may have fallen asleep.

2. The coloring book is boring and they need attention from their parent.

3. They're tired or need to stretch.

These things may not seem like large problems to an adult, but they are for a child. And it is our responsibility to help them learn to deal with them by staying calm even when they're aren't.
