The following tips can help make passing through the airport security checkpoint easier:

Follow the rules regarding carry-on bags and bringing no liquid or gel that is more than three ounces. If you are traveling with a young child, you are allowed to pack breast milk, formula, juice and medications in reasonable quantities.

Talk to your children before going through security and stress that they should be on their best behavior. Children typically follow their parents example.

Everything must go through securitys X-ray machine. Everyones shoes, including your childrens, will have to be taken off at the security checkpoint.

Your children should be prepared to pass through the metal detector alone. If an alarm sounds, you will not be separated from your children while they are inspected by an agent.

If two adults are traveling in your party, you should consider dividing and conquering. Ideally one adult should be in charge of getting all bags through security while the other adult should focus on helping the kids take their shoes and jackets off and helping them through the metal detector.
