“I’m bored.”
Parents, we don’t always have to fix that immediately.
It’s tempting to turn on a screen or fill every quiet moment. But give kids a little time, and that boredom can become a backyard game, a cardboard fort, or something they never would have thought to try.
This week’s Parent Playbook challenge: set aside some time without screens—for us, too. Leave out a book, some art supplies, or a board game. Let the complaints pass and see what happens next.
We want our kids to discover that they can create their own fun. Sometimes, that starts with giving them room to figure it out.
