In episode 46 of the second season BlueyBingo and Bluey are driving with their parents on vacation, of course they encounter a traffic jam before they get to their destination and the pups’ desperation begins to show to have their own pills see something that distracts them to tolerate boredom.
This may be a scene that many who have children (and if you still don’t, be prepared or beware of nephews’ or friends’ children) have experienced while on holiday with young children, especially due to these days in the southern cone, where it is summer and the holiday season.
So here comes the existential dilemma that every adult must face: I give technology in the car, be it a tablet or a cell phone, to the child so that he can wake up or, as was done in the nineties and eighties, I resort to road games, e.g. , counting blue or red cars, or reading road signs.
If you are one of those who have fallen into temptation, here are some tips for avoiding distracted driving:
- Fully charge your tablet or mobile phone a couple of days before.
- But also test it, test loading speed and application opening times. We suggest for older models, especially Android, to keep only one streaming application, Netflix It has the most extensive and versatile children’s catalog.
- More importantly, the day before your trip, download as many of your child’s favorite TV shows and movies as possible. It doesn’t matter if they’ve seen it a thousand times before on television, this custom is law to them.
- And lock the screen so it doesn’t end up anywhere when you’re watching. Snow Society or become desperate to get back on track with your program.
Bluey: Give me that cell phone.
There is another episode in the third season of Bluey that very well portrays the problems of multiple parents or guardians of children taking your cell phone.
Here in Give Me My Cell Phone, Bluey and Bingo grab their dad’s cell phone to make a video call to their cousins, of course it ends with a scratched screen, the cell phone almost falling off a tall building, and a few other things.
Surely you are one of those who leave your mobile phone anywhere, confident that nothing will happen to it, but when there are babies, especially very young ones, and explorers, the possibility of your mobile phone being turned into scrap metal in a matter of seconds, is something very obvious.
So here are some tips:
- Give your mobile phone something good protective case, Hopefully against bumps and falls.
- Always leave your mobile phone with a password, but more importantly, a fingerprint, because there are already several elves who know the pattern, PIN or alphanumeric code to enter.
- Also keep your email, WhatsApp and heavily loaded apps private, hopefully using fingerprints and strong passwords.
- Finally, if you find yourself in a chaotic situation where your child already has the device, distract them with a toy, food, or something else before yelling or running in circles. The classic “look what happened when I walked there…”
The final lesson from all of this is that it is never the child’s fault: adults are the ones who interact with technology, and we are the ones who provide or leave devices on hand for them to use.
Anyway, have a nice trip and start counting the signs and blue cars.
