When a plane takes off the air pressure inside the plane will drop. Behind your ear drums there is pocket of air (think of your head as an inflated balloon). When the pressure outside your head gets lower than the pressure inside your ear drums will bulge outwards a little, which is painful. Moving your jaw about, chewing gum, yawning etc can help open up the canal between your ears and the back of your throat, which will equalize the pressure.
Landing is the same, but in reverse. The pressure inside will be lower, so the eardrums will bulge inwards. You can try pinching your nose and then trying to blow through it. This sould force some air in there and equalize the pressure.

Ear parts are very delicate and more so in children. Sometime ear buds can puncture the ear drum or damage it mildly while scraping wax from the canal. This causes severe ear pain in children.
