Dr James Hind, from Nottingham Trent University, found that the time the average child will typically take to throw a tantrum during a long car journey is 70 minutes.

The research comes just before families may be preparing for long journeys ahead of the Bank Holiday weekend, and found that boredom is the primary cause of backseat tantrums, according to 68% of parents, followed by the journey being too long and children being hungry .

"Snacks are important but there is a limit to how much they can help, so keep them to two an hour max."Taking breaks to 'reset the clock' is important for preventing tantrums, as well as making sure you are not tired while driving."

Poor parenting.

Good for him. As a schoolteacher I tried hard to get 'Parr's Syndrome' into the public eye: the compulsive drawing of huge, unrealistic phalli by teenage boys on exercise books, desks and walls. I never had the same luck as that Tourette bloke!! 😄

MATHS! Get real. Math is both singular and plural. Never until liberals rewrote everything was it written with an S at the end. It doesn't make you look smarter, trust me!

Seriously? Did the researchers get paid for working out that kids without stimulus or entertainment get restless? And those with a sibling next to them or hungry kick off sooner? Rocket science it’s not!

You dont need to be an expert to predict that. Just a parent!!

'PR firm pay mathemetician to create meaningless formula in order to get their sponsors name in the news' It's a breakdown company getting free publicity from lazy copy/paste 'journalists'.
