Adjusting to time change is all about resetting your internal clock and more importantly your child’s internal clock. Young children can’t tell the time to know when to eat, they just know because their tummy tells them they are hungry. From our travels, we have learned some tips on how to help you and your kids adjust to time changes while on vacation.
