Training to Make a Tight Connection

We’ve written before about the importance of child training in various areas: lining up, doing chores, baby care, and so on. We have a new “training module” in the Carrier family: navigating the airport. The children are already trained to line up quietly in order to take directions (good for walking through the parking lot or any other public place). Now, we’re working on putting on the backpacks and doing the same. After a couple of days of this, we’ll add the wheelie bags to the routine and see how we might do at getting ourselves through a crowded airport. Less than two weeks and counting down to Kenya! Here’s the video…try to ignore the chaotic mess left behind as we sort and pack our possessions (but that’ll be another post). 🙂
