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/.

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.
