Another Movie Thread - Because We Love Them So

[kandrathe]

I understand. However, I suspect that most people have to go through the T-ball stage before they are ready for the World Series. In thinking, as in baseball, I think one needs to learn how to play before one is expected to play well. Although coaching is useful in both T-ball and thinking, practice is, IMO, even more useful. Directed practice when possible, but any practice is better than none.

I have a DVD player for long trips too (Grandma is 13 hours one way, and my sister is 18 hours). But, perhaps I'm more devious than DeeBye... :-)

I save a couple video's that they love to watch (~ 3 hours worth of the trip) for those times when they've exhausted all other options. I give them hours of DVD's in the car library though like Math made easy, National Geographic, Science shows, etc. Anything that is educational first, and entertaining second. We also have a car kit with coloring books, puzzle books, Sodoku, and magnetic board games (chess, checkers, backgammon, cribbage, etc.). They also bring their own toys to play with in the car.

Lately, for shorter 1hr trips around town they've been playing games on our phones, however they find that they can only play for about 20 minutes before they get car sick and have to look out the windows.
