Hi, i'm quite worried about my DD3, she'll be 4 in 3 months, and our trip is in 6 months. We just took her yesterday to an indoor trampoline park where all she did was freak out and cry/scream. I took her out and talked and calmed her down. She said she wanted to go back in, but then the same thing happened so we left. Then she had a tantrum getting in the van, getting in her seat, and then finally calmed down. (Later she said that a kid came by her and made her bounce and scared her) DH said didn't you say she did that in Chuck-e-Cheese? I said yes, and that was late last summer, she walked in and refused to do anything and cried. I got her to calm down so we could atleast take a photo and then we left. She did this again at Culvers last summer when i sat down with ice cream for us, she just started crying and having a fit. Now when she was 2 she was great, we went and did a lot of travel! This crying thing has been for age 3. "terrible 3's" i suppose.
This all has me worried about our disney trip in 6 months: getting on the plane, take-off, landing, riding their bus, riding the resort boat (I asked her about it, and she said i don't want to go on the boat because it may tip over), riding the monorail, and riding the rides at Disney. Geez, should i just cancel it? DH said his vacation days won't roll over, so we'll lose them and i'll miss out going to Disney. I said she can stay home w/ DH and me and the baby will go, but doubt DH will go for that.
So how was your 4 year old? Any tips with this kind of kid? I tried showing and explaining things and how it is fun, and pointing out that everyone else is having fun, doing it together, but she can just get in her own freaked out state.
