YOUR KIDS DON’T NEED MORE ENTERTAINMENT. THEY NEED MORE BOREDOM. #parentingadvice #bored
Published June 15
BOREDOM ISN’T THE PROBLEM. IT’S THE SOLUTION.
One of the biggest mistakes parents make today is believing they need to constantly entertain their kids.
But boredom isn’t something to eliminate. It’s often where creativity begins.
It’s where kids learn to solve problems, create games, build forts, explore outside, start conversations, and discover who they are without a screen in front of them.
In our family, we’ve learned that when screens aren’t the automatic answer, something amazing happens. After the complaints and “I’m bored” comments fade, imagination starts to take over.
In this clip from our latest podcast, we talk about why boredom may be one of the greatest gifts we can give our children this summer and how our Summer Screen Contract has helped us stop fighting about screens altogether.
Comment BORED and we’ll send you the full episode.
