Hello I have two questions for you. The first question is that when people travel by plane with their baby or very young kids, they start crying when the plane takes off. In this case, parents try to do whatever they can to get them to calm down. How can I say this in English? Does "parents usually put their efforts into calming down their kids on the plane" make sense? If it doesn't, could you please make it more natural? Second, I want to talk about kids stuck on the plane for long hours. Honestly, I had no idea how to express that situation. What I want to say is, for kids, are full of energy and it’s not easy to travel by plane. The seats are on the plane very close and it’s not easy to move there. They need to sit on their seats at least for an hour, and as time goes by they feel suffocated and get resentful easily, and eventually, they might start kicking in front of their seats. Does ”Kids are usually full of energy, and it's not easy for them to travel by plane because they can't move there freely and it's easy to feel suffocated, which it could get them to act in a bad way like kicking in front of their seats or yelling" make sense? If it doesn't, could you make it more natural? It's for my speech, I need your help. Thank you so much.

Hey Mari! to answer your questions: 1. "do whatever they can to get them to calm down" is totally fine! You could also say: keep them calm / occupied / take their minds off the flight 2. "kids, are full of energy and it’s not easy FOR THEM (or their parents!) to travel by plane. The seats very close TOGETHER and it’s not easy to move AROUND. They need to sit STILL FOR at least for an hour, and as time goes by they feel suffocated and get TEARFUL / AGITATED (?), and eventually, they might start kicking in front of their seats." this is fine! Hope that helps!

Kids are usually full of energy, so it's not easy for them to travel by plane. The seats are close together which means it's difficult for them to move around. Also, flights generally last for over an hour, maybe even ten hours or more, and because they can't move freely it can be easy for them to feel suffocated. This might cause them to misbehave, like kicking the seat in front of them or yelling. This combines some of your ideas and adds a bit extra.
