A simple fan folded strip of paper slipped between the seats into to his tiny 
hands was "magic" enough to stop the tears of the little unaccompanied boy 
child crying that he missed his mommy on the long cross country flight 
yesterday. No intros, nothing complicated...just magic
ORIFUN to all,

Question:  What are some good methods for dealing with other people's
loud/crying kids/babies on long flights?

Answer (one of 70+), from Ian McFather to a firecracker of a daughter,
Written Feb 27, 2015:
Introduce yourself to the beleaguered parent and offer to buy them a drink.
Perhaps take a piece of paper (tear out a magazine page?) and make a paper
airplane or a paper flower or – if you have the skill – some origami as a
gift for the upset child. In addition to being an empathic gesture to the
parent, it'll be psychologically more difficult for you to be irritated if
you know their first names

It hardly needs saying, I'm taking plenty of origami paper for my flights
this Christmas time, and wearing an OrigamiUSA t-shirt for the trip (it
makes the TSA guys smile)
