>> welcome back to gma. on this first full day of spring, we thought we would look at the spring, just kicking off in bloom, which lasts about 6-8 weeks or so. really gorgeous. and the weather has been quite warm, especially in southern california today, staying in the 70s on low 80s, but that pattern is about to shift and we are bringing in some much more wet and cold air, especially by next week.

>> george: time now for parenting playbook. our viewers have questions, experts here to answer them. we have pediatrician dr edith bracho-sanchez, and executive director of the lonely planet travel nitya chambers. we have a question from a mother of two from charlotte, north carolina. let's look. >> i'm traveling for the first time with my family. what should i expect and how should i plan ahead to make sure it's a good time for all of us? >> first, i think traveling with your family is an amazing opportunity to break out of the schedule that you have and get into something new, and have new experiences together. but your family still your family when you're traveling. i think the opportunity to be flexible, to starting there. being flexible with how the day is going to go, how it's going to change, setting realistic expectations. and thinking light -- packing light. not taking a lot with you gives

you the opportunity to be more nimble. >> george: i always have the one bag rule for everyone in my house. it's not always followed. [ laughter ] >> this one comes from another ericka in virginia. she says, we are traveling with another family who might have different rules and bedtimes with their kids. how do we adjust and set new boundaries away from home? >> first and foremost, you have to talk to the other family before you actually take the trip. you want to manage expectations. talk about bedtimes, especially if the kids are sharing rooms. and if you have different bedtimes, compromise. you should also talk about the schedule, how much he will do together and just with your family. when it comes to roles, i love the idea of explaining the behavior you want your child to do. you're going to get on the plane, use our inside voice, keep our hands to ourselves and pray for the best. you also have to have consequences. realistic consequences.

so many parents are like, we're going to go home early if you do "x". make sure you can follow through with what you say. >> george: easier said than done. question from claire in st. louis. >> it's always challenging finding healthy meals while on vacation. any tips or tricks on how to eat out while not knocking away the routine? >> it is hard, but we are looking for balance, not perfection. i would say right from the beginning of the trip, bring your own snacks. any time you're able to pack some string cheese, nuts, fruits that you can peel and give your child while you're on the go, you're less likely to go for the chips and the sugary things at the counter at the airport. the other thing, be smart about your sugar consumption. i love going to local ice cream shops, bakeries. if i know i'm going to do that, i'm not giving my child sugary juice in the morning or sugary

breakfast. and maybe one afternoon, swap out the ice cream for the smoothie without sugar added. any time you're eating out, or member to order that side of veggies, go for the protein and complex carbs. >> smart advice. what else can families do while booking their trip to ensure smooth sailing, so to speak,, and also save some money? >> i think booking early. starting your planning early lets you start to understand what the options are and where you can save money along the way. i also think setting up frequent-flier accounts if you are flying, it's amazing, they start to accrue points and at some point you can start to use those points for their ticket. when you book early, you can start to weigh options between getting the king with the rollaway or the room with two queens. givers off that time to make choices. >> great piece of advice. >> george: one of the tougher ones for both of you. how do you limit screen time while traveling?

>> the goal of vacation is to get there safely and have fun. definitely there are rules, based on what we know about children's brains. we want to limit to one hour per day, but it's okay to be flexible on vacation. >> and if they have very strict guideline, half an hour after breakfast, or one hour after dinner, and make sure you are following the same rules. >> george: that was great, thank you. coming up, how a you made a cow! actually it's a piggy bank. my inspiration to start saving. how about a more solid way to save?
