[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Flight attendant asked family for child to turn down iPad sound. Parent told child some people asked to turn the sound down and child did so. When we landed we were a little surprised to see that that kid was more likely in the 5-7 age range.

For me, I will get a second pair of noise canceling headphones as I had lent my other pair to DC to use while studying for finals. I am still baffled at some of the replies here on how the choices are either iPad sound on or screaming kid. We used to plan out a series of discrete activities for the plane and pack accordingly when our kids were young. So we might read aloud in quiet voices, color, match stickers to images, etc. I packed snacks/lunches in bags with lots of things to unwrap to take up travel time.

I grew up with a sibling with a developmental disability so am quite familiar with a neurodivergent world from a very early age. Parents can still try to model what their children should strive for in public as well as how we can all extend grace when most needed. [/quote]
