Tours4Fun would like to introduce a fresh flavor of family travel to their blog today by presenting the travel tips by Family Travel Forum exclusively for those parents who travel across time zones with their toddlers. Travel Mamas & Daddies, the following tips will help your kids to experience a smooth transition to a new time zone and help you in dealing with their jet lag and possible crankiness during the journey. Family Travel Forum discusses the best ways to adjust to a new time zone for parents and their cranky children.
Jet lag, or disruption in sleep and wake cycles with travel across time zones, occurs in children and adults. Typical symptoms of jet lag include very early A.M. awakening, daytime lethargy and difficulty getting to sleep in the new time zone.
Travel across only one time zone (1-hour time change) is not usually a problem; however, sleep difficulty arises with travel across two or more zones. Generally, it’s easier to adapt when travel is from east to west (adaptation time in 1-3 days). West to east travel across two or more time zones is a more difficult and prolonged adaptation (this can take up to three weeks for children who are "losing" several daytime hours).
