How to get them to stop asking "when we arrived" in the car

One of the great terrors of parents when the lengths begin summer trips It is the tiredness and boredom of the little ones. Accustomed to short and slightly sleepy journeys (on weekends or early rises to daycare or school), your favorite question will be: When we arrived? A study has shown that it takes only 90 minutes to formulate it.

There are parents of all types, the most severe who warn that you never arrive and do not stop to eat or the bathroom, although the first stop be half an hour out; those who calculate a similar time at 24 hours of Le Mans, even if they go 300 km and finally those who organize an authentic fun display so that the kids can fly by.

Travel playing from six months to three years

Babies will fall asleep almost after the car starts moving, which is an advantage, but from six to seven months, your baby sleeps less hours, so early you leave, part of the trip will be awake. If it's a little older, the excitement of the trip and changing customs, beach shovels, and so on holiday paraphernalia, He will be very nervous and it is most likely that he will drive the pilot and co-driver crazy with his questions. Once comfortable and safe in your car seat, as in the Oasys 2-3 Fixplus Auto Chair, the family car can become a magical place.

The funniest wink.- Who needs a Guiñol theater with a car in front and seats behind? Take the puppet dolls hidden in a bag and appear above the copilot's shoulder when they least expect it. Either dad or mom the co-pilot can ask questions of the mini passengers, give touches to the musical dolls Take them with them, if the doll starts to play with Mr Giraffe Stroller Clothes, your baby will be delighted and it is most likely to be very funny.

Mom tells stories.- There is nothing that children like more than the stories of dad and mom. Invented tales whose protagonists bear his name and that of his friends, stories of when dad and mom were children or Traditional tales that generations of children have liked will be your own storytelling account. If your toys are part of the story, you will hardly notice that they are sitting in the car.

The songs that we all know.-Comfortably installed in your car seat and with a parchment steering wheel, we can sing lifelong songs while we play the horn. The songs of the clowns, the traditional ones or those of the cartoons, with the sounds of their talkative steering wheel, will have fun for everyone for a long time.

Travel playing four to six years

This age is the most fun and at the same time heavier for long trips. It has the advantage that games can be more visual and also we will not get dizzy, if any of the children is prone to it. Since they still have a hard time spelling and we don't want them to get bored, we lead the games to the colors.

I see I see colors.- A classic, which can be played in and out of the car, although it is better inside. Once they start, they will be crazy looking for colors in each and every corner of the car.

Oral stop.- The referee begins to review the alphabet silently until one of the children shouts Stop! and the game will start with the letter that goes. Then everyone has to say a name with that letter first, then an animal, a city ... As children grow up, the game gets complicated.

Colors colors.- A game fun for young and old the same is to touch colors. The referee will say a different color each time and you have to touch the color which is a commotion to look for the color and then fight to reach it, without moving each of its place.

Travel playing six to ten years

The advantage of being older also becomes a disadvantage. Used to always be doing some activity, the immobility of the car is unbearable to the oldest. However here we can develop more complicated and memory games, to help them develop capacities.

Chained words.- For the more agile it will be fun to go linking words with the last syllable or letter of the previous word. Anyone can start and last whatever the participants want. If they limp in math, a good game of mental calculation it stimulates and prepares them for school, although they may not be left ...

Why haven't you done your homework?.- It consists of the referee looking for two words without apparent relation to each other and each participant must invent a story to excuse himself for not having done his homework, using those two words. How much more Surreal and crazy more will laugh.

Safe, entertaining and comfortable, the trip can happen in a jiffy and result fun and even short!
