184
00:14:35,774 --> 00:14:44,917
and shuffles them and picks out 
one and shows it to you.

185
00:14:44,917 --> 00:14:50,789
Then you tell what number it is 
and put that many dots

186
00:14:50,789 --> 00:14:53,425
on the ladybug.

187
00:14:53,425 --> 00:14:55,928
Let's try it.

188
00:14:55,928 --> 00:15:00,065
Let's shuffle up a little bit 
here.

189
00:15:08,507 --> 00:15:10,209
What number is that?

190
00:15:14,113 --> 00:15:16,315
It's a two.

191
00:15:16,315 --> 00:15:30,229
So I put two dots on the 
ladybug.

192
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,997
How about that.

193
00:15:31,997 --> 00:15:34,767
Let's try it again.

194
00:15:37,069 --> 00:15:39,138
Okay.

195
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:43,609
Let's take another number.

196
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:50,482
This is a number four.

197
00:15:50,482 --> 00:15:58,324
So I'll put four dots on the 
ladybug.

198
00:15:58,324 --> 00:16:10,836
One...two...three...four.

199
00:16:10,836 --> 00:16:15,174
This is a fun way to learn to 
count, and it's a game

200
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:18,911
you can make yourself.

201
00:16:18,911 --> 00:16:24,149
Try it and have dots and dots of 
fun.

202
00:16:24,149 --> 00:16:31,156
♪♪♪

203
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:40,332
I want to be a pilot that flies 
a two rider jet.

204
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:44,169
One person sits in the front and 
the other sits in the back.

205
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:53,479
Can you think of some ways that 
airplanes and birds are alike?

206
00:16:53,479 --> 00:17:00,986
Well they both have wings and 
they both can fly.

207
00:17:00,986 --> 00:17:04,923
How are they different?

208
00:17:04,923 --> 00:17:11,530
Birds are small and very light, 
but what about airplanes?

209
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:17,269
Are they light or heavy?

210
00:17:17,269 --> 00:17:19,738
They're very heavy.

211
00:17:19,738 --> 00:17:21,607
You're right.

212
00:17:21,607 --> 00:17:26,211
They're a lot bigger and heavier 
than the largest birds

213
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:28,013
in all the world.

214
00:17:28,013 --> 00:17:35,054
So how does something as big and 
as heavy as an airplane

215
00:17:35,054 --> 00:17:38,791
get off the ground?

216
00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:41,093
Speed...

217
00:17:41,093 --> 00:17:42,761
Wind...

218
00:17:42,761 --> 00:17:45,130
And wings.

219
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:47,399
That's right.

220
00:17:47,399 --> 00:17:56,708
Airplanes have big engines that 
make them go very fast.

221
00:17:56,708 --> 00:17:59,745
They can take off down the 
runway faster and faster

222
00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:05,250
and faster and the faster they 
go the more wind rushes over

223
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:11,657
and under their wings and when 
enough wind is flowing

224
00:18:11,657 --> 00:18:18,964
around the wings the pilot can 
lift off and the plane flies

225
00:18:18,964 --> 00:18:22,267
through the air.

226
00:18:22,267 --> 00:18:27,539
Would you like to pretend to be 
an airplane?

227
00:18:27,539 --> 00:18:31,243
Well we've already been a bird 
and a butterfly

228
00:18:31,243 --> 00:18:33,779
so why not an airplane?

229
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:36,315
Come on let's go.

230
00:18:36,315 --> 00:18:39,318
We'll just take a short flight, 
okay?

231
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:44,723
Now you may have noticed that 
airplanes don't flap their wings

232
00:18:44,723 --> 00:18:48,160
to fly the way birds do.

233
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,866
An airplane's wings stay stiff 
and straight out to the side.

234
00:18:53,866 --> 00:19:01,940
So let's get our wings in place 
and start our engines.

235
00:19:01,940 --> 00:19:05,043
[airplane engine]

236
00:19:05,043 --> 00:19:07,312
Start down the runway.

237
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:10,482
We'll go down the runway slowly 
at first...

238
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:13,218
vrrrrr

239
00:19:13,218 --> 00:19:14,920
then faster...

240
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,522
vrrrrr

241
00:19:16,522 --> 00:19:17,756
and faster...

242
00:19:17,756 --> 00:19:18,891
vrrrrr

243
00:19:18,891 --> 00:19:20,792
We better turn around here.

244
00:19:20,792 --> 00:19:22,528
We're about to run out of space.

245
00:19:22,528 --> 00:19:26,765
Go back the other way.

246
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:32,938
And now we're going to go up in 
the air.

247
00:19:32,938 --> 00:19:36,475
Oh this is nice.

248
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:42,047
When you look down what do you 
see?

249
00:19:42,047 --> 00:19:52,624
I see buildings and roads and 
did you notice all the cars

250
00:19:52,624 --> 00:19:57,663
and trucks that are so big when 
you're on the ground

251
00:19:57,663 --> 00:20:02,901
look as small as ants from way 
up here?

252
00:20:02,901 --> 00:20:05,270
Oh and the clouds.

253
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:10,008
The clouds look so much closer 
up here, don't they?

254
00:20:10,008 --> 00:20:13,011
Well they are.

255
00:20:13,011 --> 00:20:15,180
Oh okay.

256
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:17,883
Let's land our planes.

257
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:20,018
I see the runway straight ahead.

258
00:20:20,018 --> 00:20:21,420
Take a look.

259
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:22,821
Do you see straight ahead?

260
00:20:22,821 --> 00:20:24,289
There's a runway.

261
00:20:24,289 --> 00:20:29,394
I'm going down toward the runway 
right now slowly, slowly.

262
00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:31,396
Let's slow down.

263
00:20:31,396 --> 00:20:34,833
We're going to land.

264
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:39,771
Now let's taxi up to the gate 
and don't forget

265
00:20:39,771 --> 00:20:45,877
to turn off your engine.

266
00:20:49,314 --> 00:20:53,051
Have you ever flown in an 
airplane?

267
00:20:53,051 --> 00:20:58,056
It can be so much fun and very 
exciting.

268
00:20:58,056 --> 00:21:01,460
I like flying in the plane 
because I can see the clouds

269
00:21:01,460 --> 00:21:04,896
and the city when it's dark.

270
00:21:04,896 --> 00:21:08,066
My name Barren Greaves Radison.

271
00:21:08,066 --> 00:21:14,906
That's me flying in a plane and 
that square is the TV.

272
00:21:14,906 --> 00:21:17,276
That's the TV part.

273
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:21,913
There's the wings.

274
00:21:21,913 --> 00:21:29,354
I flew to my grandma's in a 
plane.

275
00:21:29,354 --> 00:21:31,056
(male #1) 
Was it scary?

276
00:21:31,056 --> 00:21:32,658
Uh-uh.

277
00:21:32,658 --> 00:21:35,594
I could see the clouds.

278
00:21:35,594 --> 00:21:37,396
I was on top of them.

279
00:21:50,008 --> 00:21:54,112
On today's show, we've talked 
about things with wings,

280
00:21:54,112 --> 00:21:55,881
things that fly.

281
00:21:55,881 --> 00:21:59,551
And for our children playing 
with toy planes and pretending

282
00:21:59,551 --> 00:22:02,220
to fly is fun.

283
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:07,759
But in the real world on a real 
airplane, it can be very scary.

284
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:12,064
So what can we as parents do to 
help our children with idea

285
00:22:12,064 --> 00:22:14,599
of flying on a plane?

286
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:18,337
Today here on Parent's Corner, 
we have Charlotte Higgins

287
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:23,308
and Janey Englert of Northwest 
Airlines to help us understand

288
00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:26,778
some of the possible fears of 
flying our children may have

289
00:22:26,778 --> 00:22:29,481
and how we can help them 
overcome them.

290
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:35,020
Many children have a fear of 
flying and most of their fears

291
00:22:35,020 --> 00:22:37,189
come from things that they don't 
know.

292
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:39,958
And we as parents can help them 
out by telling them

293
00:22:39,958 --> 00:22:42,094
some of the things that they 
need to know

294
00:22:42,094 --> 00:22:44,796
before these things happen.

295
00:22:44,796 --> 00:22:47,799
Parents, before you get on the 
airplane, it's very important

296
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:50,435
that the children understand 
that they're going to be

297
00:22:50,435 --> 00:22:53,071
going down a corridor that's 
called a jet way

298
00:22:53,071 --> 00:22:54,673
before they board the airplane.

299
00:22:54,673 --> 00:22:57,709
A lot of times when they'll go 
in that jet way, they're afraid.

300
00:22:57,709 --> 00:23:00,479
It's a little dark, they don't 
understand what it is.

301
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:03,181
Show them by the window before 
you go down to the plane

302
00:23:03,181 --> 00:23:06,051
that it's just a little building 
that connects the airplane

303
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:08,153
to the door where they're 
entering.

304
00:23:08,153 --> 00:23:10,155
There's no reason to be afraid.

305
00:23:10,155 --> 00:23:12,257
There's motion when they're in 
that jet way.

306
00:23:12,257 --> 00:23:14,893
There's things that they're 
going to feel when they're

307
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:17,863
going down that corridor that 
they're not going to understand.

308
00:23:17,863 --> 00:23:18,864
Just tell them.

309
00:23:18,864 --> 00:23:20,832
If you don't understand it 
yourself, ask

310
00:23:20,832 --> 00:23:23,368
a customer service agent before 
you go on the plane.

311
00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:24,669
They'll explain it to you.

312
00:23:24,669 --> 00:23:27,406
When you get on the airplane, 
let them touch the jet way

313
00:23:27,406 --> 00:23:28,673
and the airplane.

314
00:23:28,673 --> 00:23:31,376
Let them feel that this is 
something that connects it -

315
00:23:31,376 --> 00:23:32,644
that it's okay.

316
00:23:32,644 --> 00:23:35,247
When they get on the airplane 
itself, there's all kinds

317
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,416
of sounds that they're going to 
be afraid of.

318
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:39,851
You can help them by telling 
them about the sounds

319
00:23:39,851 --> 00:23:41,052
before they happen.

320
00:23:41,052 --> 00:23:43,789
For example, when you're on the 
runway, there's a lot of

321
00:23:43,789 --> 00:23:46,658
loud noise, there's the engine 
that's making roaring noises.

322
00:23:46,658 --> 00:23:48,260
These are frightening to a 
child.

323
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:51,129
They need to know that it's 
okay, that it's a normal sound.

324
00:23:51,129 --> 00:23:54,199
Also, when the wheels come down 
and you're getting ready to land

325
00:23:54,199 --> 00:23:56,701
an airplane, that's a loud noise 
that a child needs

326
00:23:56,701 --> 00:23:58,470
to be prepared for before it 
happens.

327
00:23:58,470 --> 00:24:00,405
It's just communicating with 
your child.

328
00:24:00,405 --> 00:24:03,041
Let them know what's going to 
happen before it happens

329
00:24:03,041 --> 00:24:05,844
and there will be no reason to 
be afraid and they're both

330
00:24:05,844 --> 00:24:07,512
going to enjoy the trip a lot 
more.

331
00:24:09,581 --> 00:24:15,287
My how time flies when you're 
having fun.

332
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:19,057
And I've had lots of fun today 
finding out about things

333
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:20,926
that fly.

334
00:24:20,926 --> 00:24:25,030
I hope you'll look around this 
week and see how many things

335
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:29,000
you can find that fly.

336
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,071
If you'd like to learn more 
about birds or butterflies,

337
00:24:33,071 --> 00:24:38,877
or airplanes, or anything else, 
why not go to the library

338
00:24:38,877 --> 00:24:41,713
and check out some books.

339
00:24:41,713 --> 00:24:45,550
Books about things with wings.

340
00:24:45,550 --> 00:24:49,788
Well, looks like it's time for 
me to fly,

341
00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:51,323
so I'm going to take off.

watching.
