Allow Them To Be Bored
When my kids would say, “I’m boredddd,” I used to create a fun craft project to do. But I found that doing that all the time left me exhausted. Now, when they say that they’re bored, I say, “Good. Go find something to do.” (And I only half-cringe when I say it.) Psychology Today backs me up, reporting that letting kids be bored helps them build their imagination skills, creativity, and self-confidence. And remember, you’re not responsible for entertaining your kid every hour of every day.
