Some of these road trips have been bliss, with the kids taking long naps in the back seat, while others have been less enjoyable, with screaming fits and diaper blowouts.
Except to announce an upcoming bathroom or meal stop, we now rarely engaged with each other on these car trips.
Instead, we would pick an audiobook as a family and listen to it during our ride.
And there it was, a parenting win amid the initial shock of a no-screen time road trip.
Now, we look forward to car trips with no screensLeading up to our trips now, we start talking about which book we'll listen to while on the road.
