Question

what makes a good school trip discussion

Answer 1

Take time to talk through what the travel experiences will be like with your child, prepare things to do onboard long bus or plane rides, pack snacks and water as needed, and explain what to do in the case of an emergency to help relieve anxiety.

If your child has motion sickness, asthma, or other health conditions, you should talk about what to do during travel times and discuss the plan with his or her teacher. I had a proactive parent talk to me about her son’s claustrophobia, so we sat in him the front of the bus with a view out of the big window. Most schools require an adult to carry all medication and parents to sign a medical release, so make sure you know the procedure if you’re planning to send any meds.
