It's a scientific development parents have been awaiting for generations: How to stop kids from completely freaking out during car rides.

The statistician also found that the average child will ask"are we there yet?" 32 minutes into a car ride, and will ask four times total. "If you have only one child, and you can keep them entertained and occasionally bribe them with food, you could manage two hours of tantrum-free driving," said Hind."Unfortunately, two children with no entertainment and no snacks can brew up a tantrum in just 40 minutes.
"Taking breaks to 'reset the clock' is important for preventing tantrums, as well as making sure you are not tired while driving," said Hind.
