For those who don\u2019t like it so much, we can find ways to distract them from their protest by utilizing language! As you are getting them in the car, describe what you are doing, maybe even by singing it.\u00a0 For example, \u201cUp, up, up we go\u201d, \u201cFor a ride we go\u201d(tune of <em>Row, Row, Row Your Boat<\/em>), \u201cFor a ride\u201d, \u201cIn the car\u201d, \u201cFor a ride we go\u201d. Talk to them about getting their arms in the straps(Arms in, 1, 2), buckling it up(Snap!), then \u201cHere we go!\u201d.\u00a0 When able, talk about what you see during the ride, sing some songs(especially for the riders that don\u2019t enjoy it so much).\u00a0 For the forward facing riders, ask them questions about what they see or hear so they can tell you.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not the driver, maybe even offer some choices of drinks or snacks, which is also a good way to keep them distracted from any anxiety they may feel.\u00a0 Use a lot of descriptive language as you talk about what you see.\u00a0 For example, \u201cLook!\u201d \u201cA big truck!\u201d, \u201cThere\u2019s a blue car\u201d, \u201cAwwww what a cute puppy!\u201d, \u201cThere\u2019s a cow, what does it say?\u201d, \u201cMooooo, that\u2019s what a cow says!\u201d.\u00a0 Even if they aren\u2019t able to, or choose not to repeat sounds\/words back to you, they are still absorbing the information and will eventually engage in imitation.\u00a0 Most importantly, have fun with them and enjoy the time without having to worry about the regular interruptions of life!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sounds\/words to include:<\/strong> car, seat, sit, up, down, in, out, go, stop, buckle, snap, truck, plane, house, trees, sun, clouds, stars, moon, sky, beep, zoom, slow, fast, name animals you might see, colors, foods\/drinks you may have, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wondered how much children can learn while riding in the car?
