The summer concert season is in full swing. And with school out for the next few months, it’s probably crossed your mind that the time has finally come for your kids to experience their first concert. There are the obvious ways to safeguard children during a show, including protecting their hearing with earplugs and having a plan in case the two of you get separated. Here are other tips to help you, your kids, and even those around you get the most from the live music experience.
Let them know what to expect from the crowd
Music can make people do funny things, including dancing, twisting, and shouting. For a young person who’s likely never been in a large mixed crowd before, it might be a little frightening. On your way to the venue, let your kids know all the silly and crazy things they might see and hear from the audience during the set to prepare them for the sensory overload (过量) they’re about to experience.

No matter how many trips to the toilet you take before the first chord (和弦) is struck, it’s possible that your child will need to go to the toilet during the show (and let’s face it, it’ll be during your favorite song). The easiest way is by finding a seat next to the bathroom. You’ll save yourself the frustration of weaving through the crowd and give yourself a fighting chance to catch the last verse of the artist’s big hit.
Leave a snack in the car
Even if your kids didn’t get a contact high, they’re probably going to be tired and hungry after the show. Leave a healthy snack in the car for them to munch on for the trip home, or it’ll be an even longer journey out of the parking lot.
