There is not a cure for children getting travel sick. However, children can get accustomed to travelling by car, and therefore with time you will find that children adapt to travelling by car without getting sick. But there are a number of measures that you can take that will help the situation of travel sickness in children. For a start, better to have a full stomach. If they are travelling with an empty stomach they will be more susceptible to travel sickness. Secondly, entertaining them by keeping them focused on the surroundings but usually ahead of the car rather than to the sides. And games such as trying to identify oncoming cars, colours and I spy games are usually very good at this type of thing. If none of these measures work, one would have to discuss it with your doctor so that he can attempt to give you some medication that will help with the travel sickness.
