A Fun Way to Teach Kids Not to Run Around While In Public
#dontrun A special post today... Happy Birthday to my niece Rima. We adore you!
Question- How can my kids not run around in public? In different directions? I can’t chase them! What do I do?
Lakshmi’s Learning- Who remembers the old “chu chu train” game? Well, even with all the advancements we have made with new games and technology— these #oldschool games are still so much fun and kids love them!! Remember- your kids don’t know it’s old school.... a game is a game!!! Even if you have one kid- you can follow OR lead in front.
I use this to board flights (I travel a lot with them alone), walk through airports (no holding hands), and take them out in public. It quickly can transform a potential yelling scene (me screaming at kids to stop running around) into a fun game of listening.
Stay tuned for more from my girls where we will talk about airplane entertainment!

As a mother of two toddler daughters, I want to teach and show them the beauty of the world and all its people. We frequently traveled around the US to visit our families. In my eyes, if I can easily manage a 3 hour plane journey, how hard is a 24 hour plane journey? Well, I learned that while there are differences, I can do it. As a family, we have now traveled to 30 countries across 6 continents (7th and last hopefully coming soon). The most important role I play is raising global citizens - supporting my children to be confident in who they are, excited to learn about others, and respect all the people around them.
