Screen Time Equals Quiet Time
While most parents prefer not to let their little ones get glued to a screen for hours on end under normal circumstances, it might be best not to fight it when you’re out and about on a long trip. If what helps the kid sit calmly during a long road trip or on the plane is watching multiple episodes of their favorite cartoon in a binge-like fashion, just let them watch.
It’s better to keep them sitting calmly than to entertain them continuously over a long trip. After all, quiet children contribute to a happy plane.
