## What If You’re Traveling With Children?
Traveling with children can already be stressful.
Seeing SSSS on a boarding pass can make parents especially anxious.
The best approach is preparation.
Explain to children that airport security sometimes involves additional checks.
Keep important documents together.
Give yourself extra time.
Make sure children know to follow security instructions.
Most importantly, don’t let your own anxiety make the situation seem frightening to them.
Children often take emotional cues from adults.
