We may dread the phrase, "I'm borrrredddd...."! Our child is given a wide open space of unstructured time, and suddenly, they seem to rebel against it. Trying to be helpful, you may offer suggestions to your child - but wait! What if you didn't? What if you simply said, "I love bored" to your child?

In this video with the wonderful Maggie Dent, Australia's Queen of Common Sense, she and I chat about the importance of boredom in a child's life. What comes from this quiet space that a child is marinating in? Why is it important that we don't rush to fix this "boredom problem" and instead leave it up to our child?

Learn why Maggie and I love boredom - in fact, we ENCOURAGE it! - in this video, and feel free to use the catchphrase, "I love bored", the next time your child seeks you out as his or her Activities Coordinator.
