Tips on moving with kids?

Tips on moving long distance with twin toddlers? We will be in the car for at least 5 days. I need help. I already know I’m going to lose my mind. What are some things I can do to keep them calm?

Make sure you’re stopping every 2-3 hours! Look for rest areas with grassy areas you can get out and take a quick walk at. Plan for lots of snacks and pack as many of their favorite books or toys as you can. Play music they like. But the stopping every 3 hours max is absolutely critical for their health and safety. So if nothing else definitely plan on that.

We like to travel early in the morning like 4am and the kids sleep until 6:30/7ish. We stop for a big breakfast and a little walking/play time. Lots of toys and coloring books. Maybe a dvd player with a movie. My oldest just plays with his Nintendo but my youngest is a tough one.

Travel during sleep times. Tablets or some kind of technology is your best friend. Stop regularly and take tiny walks. Snacks galore!!
