Travel sickness

Travel sickness (must know) - If your kid gets travel sick easily in the car, try putting them in the middle of the back seat (if the seatbelt is suitable for a child). Encourage them to look out of the front window. Focusing on the horizon helps stabilise them, and their stomachs.

Ginger is great for preventing and treating mild sickness. Ginger tea or powder is the most effective, but not the most child-friendly. Ginger snap biscuits should go down a lot better.
Reading books can often make children travel sick. Try audio books instead. They can listen to them on their own MP3 or CD player, so you're free to listen to your 'boring' music with no complaints.
Essential oils are great for settling the stomach. Place a few drops of chamomile, peppermint or ginger onto a couple of cotton balls and place them in the side pockets next to their seat. Or onto a handkerchief to be inhaled whenever they're feeling a little queasy.
