Boredom- Why keeping kiddos entertained is not always the best idea
Description
This week I chat to Amber Cimiotti about how boredom is beneficial for kiddos.
Some things we talk about include:
• Boredom and instant gratification
• What are some of the benefits of being bored?
• What essential skills could be developed when a child is bored?
• How do you balance a child being bored without having them get to a point of being destructive?
• How do you balance making them play independently without them feeling ignored or neglected?
• For kids who are given screens to alleviate boredom, how would you suggest introducing boredom?
• What are some cues a parent could give children that say they are bored?
The chat was so insightful! Cheers to more bored kiddos!
