toddler tips

[ameemom]

We're going to WDW and our DD will be 22 months old. This is far from her first trip as she has been 4 times since she was an infant, the last being when she was 15 months. So I have a pretty good idea what to pack and what not.. BUT, now that she is a little more aware of things loud noises and such scare her, unlike they did a few months back. So I'm wondering how other moms have helped their little ones fears and keep things fun. Any other tips are welcomed!

My biggest tip is not to force her to go up to the characters. At that age, my DD ran right up to them but some children are afraid...and LOTS of parents force their children whether they are afraid or not. Also, if she likes seeing fireworks, but doesn't like the sound...get some ear plugs.
