My daughter drives me crazy in the car
Every time my husband and I go anywhere with our 4-year old daughter, she wines and cries in the car, or babbles and sings constantly. Although I prefer the latter, sometimes I just want QUIET!There is no escape in a car, and sound echoes. I don't want to be forced to play kiddie music for her constantly either. How can I get her to behave?

Dear daughter drives you crazy,
I have a 4 and 6 year old plus i babysit two 2 year olds and a 9 month old. Here are some of my little tricks. Before going anywhere i tell them where we are going and how long we will be in the car, tell them to grab a couple of small toys to play with because mommy needs to concentrate on the roads. Pack small snacks for them, play a game like how many red cars they can find, or how many people they see walking on the street. I find if you keep their minds busy they are to busy to drive you crazy. Hope any of this helps! Let me know. Luann

the best thing to do is just just smack her and tell her not to yell in the car. DO NOT GIVE HER A TREAT FOR BEING GOOD!!!! this only makes her thing that she can get that stuff all of the time. i did like the idea of giving her an apple though. but playing kiddy music is a good way to take care of the whinning but for the yelling there is only one way to fix that, a nice back hand.

Take an activities bag along that's right there in the back seat with her. Usually when children have something to do like color or a picture book, they tend to go into their own little world and are a little quieter. Teach her the quiet game but you have to make it fun! Make rewards for her being quieter while in the car. I have a 3 1/2 year old grand-daughter that likes to yell at me from the back seat and when I started bringing along things she liked as activities, the noise got much lessor. I can promise you it's going to stop all together but it will help.

Don't cater to her. Use some tough love with a touch of discipline here; she needs to realize that she can't do this, it's not proper behavior! Firmly, but in a nice and non-threatening way, let her know that she just can't behave that way, and give her something else to do. Like, yes, a toy.
Or give her a treat (something little, like a cookie, or play a game with her) if she can get through an entire car ride without misbehaving.
Whatever you do, do SOMETHING before you begin to understand why some animals eat their young.
