[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is actually one of the reasons we are very strict about screen time. Because when you *need* to press the easy button it has to work, and if your kid thinks you get to have it your own way just by yelling…they yell.

So yes from 18M my daughter wore baby headband sound limited headphones for all of her 3min of screen time. So when we had to fly 16 hours for work, she had no expectation of getting an iPad without headphones. She would also probably have accepted it with the sound off.

I know it’s too late for the people who are already on the plane to go back and do this but it’s not too late for people with little kids who think they’ll fly in the future.[/quote]

It is always stunning to me how many parents believe that all children are like their child and their child dies something convenient (like wear headphones or nap anywhere) because they are just the greatest gd parents that ever existed[/quote]

Did you try having your kid wear headphones when getting screentime from the outset? No? Then maybe it’s not just my kid. I’m willing to believe she’s a unicorn but weirdly this is a tip that I got from a ton of parents who had to fly long distances for work with their families…

Alternatively if you don’t give your kid screentime they can’t freak out for it on a plane. [/quote]

People who have one kid are the worst about this. Yup every good outcome is from your inputs. 100%

Meanwhile my ADHD/sensory processing issue kid could never wear headphones or earbuds even once but sure. It’s your genius parenting! You should write a book! [/quote]

Yup it’s almost like I tried something that had been suggested to me by parents of multiples…amazing how that is only possible for us parents of one.

No one is making your kid wear headphones, because no one is making you rely on a screen to entertain them. [/quote]

No one is making me do anything, and I’m honestly not even curious about your takes on these things. You’re the one in here offering unsolicited advice. I’m a mom of 3, I don’t need any of your advice at all. [/quote]

Then feel free to ignore it. Obviously someone who can expect their child to behave with civility in a plane is very triggering for you and there’s no need to get upset. [/quote]
