I love holidays but every one is overshadowed by my fear of flying with my 11 year old son in case any harm should come to him.. .I go to pieces at the airport. Any sensible suggestions please?

Do you believe in destiny? Do you know whether you are going to make it up till tomorrow? There are things within your capacity which you can control (example don't drink and drive)... but there are other things which you cannot control and therefore have to bear at the mercy of life. What is destined to happen will happen.
So do not worry too much on things that you don't have control of. Example: Your son could have been on board one of the buses that were targeted during the London bombings.... but luckily enough he wasn't...... did you have any control that day?? We live only once and it is up to you to decide whether you are going to live it in fear.
I have a young daughter aged 3, I would do anything for her. I live in Malta so I need the plane to travel; in three years we have been to Poland, Sicily, Austria. I do get worried on what might happen but at least I am happy that she is with me.

Honey, if you don't learn to put your big girl panties on, your kid is going to grow up way weird. Harm can come to a child any time, any place. Being on an airplane is actually one of the safer places he can be. Besides, and I don't want to sound too mortal about it, but if there's a crash, wouldn't you want to die together?
Just go make your plans, buy your tickets, get on the plane, and have fun. Life is WAY too short to be worrying about things like that.

Just force yourself into it. Technically he's more likely to be murdered by a member of his own family then he is to die on a plane. Besides, imagine how much he'll enjoy the holiday when all goes well.

Well i have never flown and i want to go to Greece next year. I am apprehensive but i don,t think it will stop me till nearer the time comes. If you have been abroad before, i can't understand why you're scared, you should know what to expect.

certain. you could bypass to the gate with him and wait till the airplane takes to the air and then someone in Florida will elect to %. them up from the gate besides. they'd have their recommendations in slightly pouch that they are going to come to a call on to placed on and the call of the fellow who alternatives them up should be on that card.
