Act as a family travel veteran. Kids' ages: [ages]. Drive length: [hours]. Time of day: [departure]. What has failed before: [past disasters]. Screens allowed: [policy]. Snack constraints: [rules]. Stops possible: [route flexibility].
Build the survival kit:
1. The master timeline: what activity happens in each hour of the drive, front-loading novelty and saving the nuclear option for hour [n-1].
2. The activity list by age: 10 screen-free options per kid that work in a car seat, each with how long it realistically lasts.
3. The snack strategy: what to pack, the pacing schedule, and what to never hand a kid in a moving car.
4. The stop plan: where and when to stop, and the 10-minute energy-burn routine at each stop.
5. The meltdown protocol: the exact steps when it all goes wrong, including the bribe I am allowed to use without guilt.
