DID YOU KNOW ?

Basic guidelines for airport safety Flying for the holidays is stressful, and it’s even more so when you add children to the equation. Airports are large, unfamiliar places flooded with crowds, and parents need to take extra precautions to make sure everyone arrives safely at their destination. Consider taking a family airport selfie so you have a current picture of what everyone is wearing in case you get separated. Talk to your children about “safe strangers” — TSA agents, flight attendants, trusted adults — they can ask for help. Go over the travel

plans so that your children know where you’re going, what airline you’re flying, and where you should meet. For more information, please visit, https://www.mamamia.com.au/travelling-with-kids-airport-safety/.

¿ SABIA QUE ? Guías básicas para la seguridad en el aeropuerto Volar en los días de Navidad es estresante, y es aún más estresante cuando se agregan niños a la ecuación. Los aeropuertos son grandes, son lugares no familiares llenos de mucha gente, y los padres de familia necesitan tomar precauciones extra para asegurar que todos lleguen seguros a su destino. Considere tomar una selfie de su familia para tener una fotografía actualizada de lo que cada uno lleva puesto en caso de que se separen. Platique con sus hijos sobre “seguridad frente a extraños” a quienes ellos pueden pedir ayuda, como oficiales de seguridad de transportes, auxiliares de vuelo, y otros adultos de confianza. Revise los planes de viaje con la familia para que sus hijos sepan hacia dónde van, en qué línea aérea van a volar, y dónde deben reunirse. Para más información, por favor visite https://www.mamamia.com.au/travelling-with-kids-airport-safety/.

on Thursdays a Jueves B N I O G Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Indeed, the Lord is near.

Estén siempre alegres en el Señor, les repito, estén alegres. El Señor esta cerca.
