Family travel is the best way to open children's eyes to new cultures and their minds to new experiences. But, as Dre Parker (played by the charming Jaden Smith) learns when his mom moves him to China in Sony's "The Karate Kid" movie, sometimes the new world can be brutal.

During our Oct. 4 TravelingMom Monday Twitter party, we'll talk about bullying, fitness and travel, thanks to our sponsor, Sony Pictures' "The Karate Kid," which will be released on DVD Oct. 5. Join us from 9-10 pm ET and share your tips for helping kids adjust to new experiences and deal with bullying.
