When your family travels or is away from its usual eating and sleeping routines, probably someone will get sick. It can take time to adapt to the food, water and air in a new environment, and kids can be especially __________________________ travel-related problems, including motion sickness, diarrhea（腹泻），and infections（传染病）.

　 Motion sickness is caused by a disagreement between the eyes and ears: the inner ears notice movement. But the eyes, focused within a car or other vehicles, do not. These different signals coming into the brain cause a lot of problems such as sickness, dizziness, paleness, and cold sweats. Motion sickness often happens on ships and boats, but it can also affect kids when they travel in planes, buses, and cars. Here are some ways to help kids fight motion sickness:

★Before you leave, have your child eat a light meal, as motion sickness seems worse on an empty stomach. Provide foods that are easily digested and avoid fatty foods.

★Try to avoid eating during short trips. For longer trips, have a small amount of drinks and eat light, small meals and snacks.

★If your child is feeling sick, provide some mild foods, like crackers（超薄饼干）.

★Encourage kids to look outside the car, rather than inside. They should focus on still objects---not moving ones---or a far point.

★Keep the window open a little to allow fresh air in.

★Use a headrest to reduce head movement.

★Make frequent stops, if your child complains of feeling sick and it’s safe to stop, a short walk for some fresh air might help.
