from The Parent Thing · host The Parent Thing

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!Connect with Amber on Instagram and Facebook: @ciaoamberc
