[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others said, download movies, audio books, etc before hand. Audio books connected to the car system that we all listened to really worked well.

Use your phone’s hotspot to give them internet access if they want play games online.

Snacks. I pack their usual snacks just more of them, and get a few different ones so that they can snack. It sometimes really helps with the bickering when they’re busy eating.

Travel more often. Your kids are not used to it, if they’ve only been in a car ride longer than 1.5 hours once in 3 years, of course it’s new to them and boring. So travel more often, they’ll get their groove.

Ignore the bickering. Learn to shut it out unless they start physically fighting, the bickering gives them something to do.

They’ll grow out of it. So don’t let the bickering stop you from going places.[/quote]

Agree with you mostly. But honestly, if the kids don’t travel and can’t find anything to observe out the car window over the course of a relatively short drive, OP has bigger issues. We are talking about elementary school aged kids, not toddlers.[/quote]
