Traveling with children can be stressful for everyone involved, but is the chaos really the kids’ fault—or the parents’? Dr. Jason Seacat, a psychology professor at Western New England University, was recently featured in Elliott Confidential, offering insights into why some parents may struggle to manage their children’s behavior during flights.
Dr. Seacat pointed out that while flying can be overwhelming for kids, poor preparation or lack of consideration from parents often amplifies the frustration for other passengers. Small changes, like proactive planning and better strategies for keeping kids occupied, can go a long way in creating a smoother travel experience for all.
His comments highlight the importance of empathy, communication, and preparation in reducing travel tensions. What’s your take? Is the real issue unruly kids—or unprepared parents? Let us know!
