Description
"Mom, I'm bored!"
Be honest: how many times have you heard this today?
That urge you feel to fix your child's boredom is completely understandable.
We love them.
We don't want them to be uncomfortable.
But discomfort isn't always a problem to solve.
Sometimes it's the space where creativity shows up.
Where independence begins.
Where a child learns, "I can figure this out myself."
If we rush in every time they're bored, we accidentally become their entertainment department. If we hold steady instead, they slowly learn to create their own fun.
That's a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives.
