Description

Does your child constantly say, “I’m bored!” and expect you to fix it? In this episode, we’re unpacking what boredom really means for kids—when it sparks creativity and when it becomes a red flag for misbehavior.

We’re chatting about:

  • Why some kids struggle with unstructured time
  • How boredom can act as an “escape hatch” from bigger feelings or situations
  • When parents should intervene versus letting kids work it out

Tune in for practical parenting tips on handling kids’ boredom, preventing tantrums, and encouraging independent play and creativity.
