One photo shows a mom in the front passenger seat, looking back and beaming at her two children in the rear seats. Both children are wearing headsets and watching a video. The mom seems to be saying, “Isn’t this great! We can drive for hours, and I never have to talk with my kids at all!” Everybody’s in a rush. Take advantage of every moment you can. The time in the car should be a time for kids and parents to talk. Don’t permit your child to separate herself or himself from you by putting on a headset or earbuds in the car or anywhere that you are together.
