We are about to embark on a trip overseas via airplane with our 2.5 year old. I have been stressing over how am I going to keep him entertained on the flight the whole time- watching YouTube videos, getting games and toys for him that are plane friendly, etc. and still there was this nervous feeling of what am I gonna do if he gets bored. So this podcast has reallllly given me a paradigm shift! I feel so good thinking instead, “I trust my son to entertain himself on the plane ride just as much (probably more) as I and my husband know how to keep ourselves preoccupied.” I will still bring the items I got, but I won’t be so anxious to pull them out every second worried he’ll get bored. I’ll hold back and just observe him observing his surroundings. Phew! I feel waaaay less stressed already!!! Thank you!!!
