Does it ever feel like so many of your hardest parenting moments happen in the car with your kids?
You're driving and your kids are arguing about the music or who's sitting in what seat or they're just kind of touching each other.
Or maybe some of your hardest parenting moments are when you're in the car without your kids and you're just thinking,
when did I become an Uber driver?
I didn't know this is what parenting would be like.
Well, I'm so excited to bring you a special bonus carpool Q&A brought to you by Chomps.
all questions having to do with the practical situations we all face in the car.
I'm Dr.
Becky, and this is Good and Decide.
We'll be back right after this.
I'm so excited to join you for a back to school carpool Q&A in partnership with Chomps.
All right, let's just start with some basic top tips for getting through car time and car pools.
Number one, set the stage by naming that your teammates.
Look to the kids in the back before you pull out of a driveway of school,
wherever you are, and just say, car rides can be tricky.
I want you to know we're on the same team.
We are going to be able to get through this tricky thing together.
By doing that, you're immediately saying that you kind of trust your kids,
that you're in it together and kids love that and will often kind of improve their behavior just by setting the stage in that way.
Two, always have something for you.
