Hi Bored, I'm Dad

from The Soapbox Lex · host Eric Green and Paul Ross

In this episode of SoapBoxLex, we dive into the wild evolution of boredom—from Gen X latchkey afternoons and Millennial AIM-era downtime to today’s hyper-stimulated, screen-saturated kids who rarely sit still long enough to feel bored at all.We explore what boredom used to mean, what it means now, and how each generation responds to it differently. Is boredom a problem? A skill? A lost art? And are we raising a generation that’s forgotten how to daydream?Join us for a funny, reflective, and slightly nostalgic conversation about growing up unplugged, surviving slow summers, learning creativity from boredom, and what modern parents can do to help kids build resilience, imagination, and attention in a world that never stops buzzing.🎧 Tune in and join the conversation at https://soapboxlex.com
