For the Child Who Wants the Tablet in the Car
Four lines you can say out loud tonight. Word for word. Free to save.
What to say
In the car the tablet stays in the bag unless the drive is over twenty minutes.
Sitting still with nothing to look at is boring, and boring is hard in a small seat.
The bag sits next to you on the back seat. You can hold it and it stays closed.
When we stop for gas you can ask. The bag stays on the seat until I answer.
When to use it
This is for the moment it actually goes wrong — not the calm version you rehearse in the car. Pick one line. Say it once. Then stop talking and wait three seconds. If they push back, repeat the same line, not a new one. Say the same thing for five nights before you decide it doesn't work.
Draw a buddy. It comes alive and does the asking. The printable pack — all 100 cards in one PDF — is $9.
