In Reply to: My kids are fear of flying posted by jadeliam on Sunday, 29. April 2007 at 12:16 Bali Time:
Taking our 16 y.o. daughter to Bali in 1985 and had the same problem of her fear of flying.
As we started take-off roll she was really scared until her dad, the wise old me, told her to put her head down between her knees as far as possible, Why? she asked. So you can be ready to kiss your ass good-bye sez I. As she lit up and said "you baaaaastid" she noticed that we were 1000 feet up and lumbering along quietly in our Garuda DC10.
Anger soon turned to laughter as the problem had been solved.
Hope this helps.
