To keep their little ones calm during a flight,parentsare prepared to do anything.
Even various electronic screens and devices become within limits for the sake of everyonessanity.
However, not all parents are as prepared, whichthis teenagerfelt inclined to share with people online.
During a flight with his aunt and cousins, the kids quickly became bored without any entertainment.
Naturally, they started targeting the tablet he was watching movies on.
However, he repeatedly shut down their requests, making the flight tougher for everyone.
However, airtraveldoesnt have to be stressful, boring, or frustrating.
All it takes is a few activities to keep them busy and engaged during those long hours in mid-air.
We could keep our kids busy for hours with just some paper and twistable crayons.
Audiobooks can be great for long flights as well, just dont forget the headphones.
However, she notes that providing them with screens on aplanecan be a mixed blessing.
We find that too much screen time can get the kids tired and grumpy.
Long flights are not the moment to start discussions about screen time.
That said, with young kids, we would keep the screen as a last resort.
If children get enough attention, they will be less likely to throw tantrums.
Snacks and lollipops are also musts.
She also writes that when it comes to preparing for a flight with children, less is more.
This means resisting the urge to stuff a bag full of toys.
They have a pretty strict one-toy per-child policy that tends to work for them pretty well.
The readers thought that the teenagers behavior was justified
