Dream - A week before Eid al-Fitr or Hari Raya, many Muslims have prepared themselves to go on a homecoming journey or "mudik". Mudik has been a tradition for Indonesian society since ancient times. They are willing to travel long distances to their hometowns in order to celebrate Eid together with their families and relatives. Some people even leave for mudik well in advance to avoid traffic jams or to get cheap tickets. The transportation used is also very diverse. Some use cars, motorcycles, buses, trains, ships, and even airplanes.

Bringing children on a homecoming trip automatically means there are many things that need to be brought. So, it's better to prepare those things in advance so that nothing is left behind. For example, preparing toys, favorite snacks, favorite books, and other supplies. Try to differentiate between clothing bags and supplies to make it easier when needed. Although it may seem troublesome, that arrangement will greatly help Dream's friend.

When not bringing children, you may be more flexible in choosing transportation modes. However, when bringing children, you must choose a comfortable vehicle. This is to avoid the child becoming fussy during the trip. If you use public transportation, make sure you know what facilities are available. Especially for the comfort of the child. If using private transportation, then you can arrange it in such a way that you and your child are comfortable during the journey.

In order for your Dream friend's journey to be easy, smooth, and comfortable when traveling with a child, don't forget to bring special travel equipment for children. For example, bringing a stroller. This will greatly help you when taking public transportation and having to make transfers. You don't need to carry the child and make yourself tired. Even with a stroller, you can also place some of your belongings to lighten the load.

Long journey, try to rest during the trip. Usually, there are rest areas with various facilities that travelers can make the most of. In addition, the endurance of sitting may differ between children and the elderly. The elderly may be able to endure tiredness or do things that make them comfortable. However, not for children. So, while resting, let the children engage in activities and breathe fresh air while monitoring their every movement.

It is very important to determine the right departure time. Especially when friend Dream brings a small child. This needs to be adjusted to their habits at certain times. Both sleep and eat. Maybe you can choose a time when the child usually sleeps. So, during the journey, the child can sleep and you can rest as well during the journey.

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "One important thing to bring during the homecoming trip is medications. During the journey, we never know what might happen. Especially for active children, their physical condition can change. Therefore, it is very important to always be prepared with medications."

To make the child feel comfortable during the journey, try to create a cozy atmosphere. For example, when the child asks a question, answer it nicely. If they invite you to play, play simple games that can be done inside the vehicle. Also, pay attention to the child's body position to ensure comfort and relaxation. This is to prevent the child from feeling sore which can lead to restlessness.
