As summer approaches, the city of Melbourne is inundated with people attending its music festivals. While many attendees are adults, there is no dearth of activities for children.
Summer festivals can be a wonderful way to spend time with your family. While you may feel nervous about taking your kids to an open-air concert or event, especially if it’s very crowded, there are ways to make sure everyone has a good time.
Here are some tips on how you can make sure your kids have a great time at festivals without worrying about them getting lost or into trouble:
1. You’ll need earplugs to break away from the noise
Expect a lot of musical and crowd noise – thanks to artists like Amy Shark, The Cat Empire, Murray, Cadence, 360, Pierce Brothers, and Yo Mafia performing live at the Hello Sunshine Festival. While it’s mostly fun, kids get irritated by frequent exposure to high-volume music. Make sure that you do bring in some earplugs. Getting them to wear ear protection can be tricky when they’re having fun. But they’re not the only ones who need to protect their ears. You do too.
Make sure you have earplugs for yourself and your kids when you go to concerts, sporting events, or other noisy events with your kids. This way, everyone can enjoy the music without worrying about toddlers getting annoyed.
2. Your kids need to be identifiable
Make sure they wear bright clothing or something that stands out so they can be seen easily.
You should also put their ID bracelet or necklace, so identification and contact become easy in case they wander off. Don’t forget to make them have an updated photograph so the authorities can readily identify them.
3. Keep extra bottles of water.
Bring a backpack with snacks and water if they get hungry or thirsty during the day. It’ll also give them something to carry around while exploring their surroundings at the festival.
Hydration is one of the easiest ways to stay energetic and have a good time. Take a big water bottle that your kids will love, and encourage everyone to drink throughout the day at festivals.
4. Have fun but don’t get over-excited
Bringing kids along will be a different experience than when you were a child-free adult. Keep an open mind about how the day will go, be flexible, and try to enjoy it, no matter what might come your way.
You may miss your favourite band or spend most of your time standing in the amusement park lines with your little ones. However it goes, you deserve a pat on the back just for trying.
5. Plan ahead for essential items
As a parent, you must consider all the things that might go wrong in a summer festival and prepare for them. Bring a blanket or mat so your kids can sit down when they need to rest or take a break from walking around.
Make sure you bring an extra set for your kids so that any muddy encounters are well taken care of.
6. Keep first aid handy.
You never know when you’ll find yourself in an unexpected situation that, in turn, could cause injury. Having a first aid kit with you can help prevent minor cuts from becoming more serious.
Bring a small first aid kit, including pain relievers like ibuprofen (if your child has allergies), bandages, disinfectant wipes, and tweezers, just in case these items are needed. Remember, prevention is better than cure!
