Try to keep distracted. If we're in the car, for example, my brother and I will do something like count red cars until we reach a few hundred. I heard that keeping your gaze on a non moving object helps. You can also look around the room and lists as many uses for a particular object that you see. Lastly, the scent of lavender also helps.
Counting cars, I like that idea! I just learned stuff from you, thanks.
