Description

What if boredom wasn’t something to fix—but something to welcome? This week, Lisa unpacks one of the most freeing concepts in peaceful parenting: Boredom is not an emergency. Learn how to stop treating your child’s discomfort like a crisis and start supporting their creativity, confidence, and resilience instead. With real stories and actionable scripts, you’ll learn to step out of the entertainment role and into true connection.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why boredom isn’t something to fix—and how to reframe it as a powerful growth opportunity
  • What’s really going on in your child’s brain when they say “I’m bored”
  • How constant stimulation (especially from screens) impacts creativity and regulation
  • What transition dysregulation is—and how to respond with empathy and boundaries
  • Age-specific responses for handling boredom at every stage
  • The nine developmental gifts your child receives when you don’t rescue them from boredom
