THIS.

Just as I've been on flights with kids who are complete hellions, I've been on flights with kids who were SO quiet that I didn't even notice them. I once saw a family of three kids whose parents came prepared with an ENTIRE carry-on full of DVDs, books, games, puzzles, snacks, etc. and I never heard a peep from any of them (and they sat right in front of me).
