If it took too adults to hold the child down AND she was running all over the place the pilot had a no win judment call.
I have been on flights with screaming kids, usually it is their little ears that are bothering them.
this girl seems like a little monster.
And according to the article, the mother is a pediatrician!
One of my son’s decided to have a temper tantrum and threw himself on the floor next to me in the kitchen, kicking and screaming...I looked at him, got up and left the kitchen and sat in the living room. He got up followed me into the living room, threw himself on the floor kicking and screaming. I got up and went into the family room, he got jup and followed me and repeated his little tantrum...by the time I moved the 5th time, he gave up and quit...its no fun for a kid to be laughed at and then move to another room...My next move was to the bathroom with a locked door and laugh at him from under the door....
I know why their ears are bothering them too and I know a cheep remedy! Bubble gum! Their ears are building up pressure and chewing on bubble gum gets your ears to “pop” naturally. I take bubble gum when I am going to high elevations or buildings like the Sears tower and have to ride those elevators. It releaves the pressure.
