Letting kids get bored can be great for their development. 💪
💥Encourages imagination, innovation, and exploration.
💥Teaches problem solving.
💥Gives them confidence to be more self-sufficient.
But they still need direction or they’ll gravitate towards the screen. 😖
Help keep their brains and bodies moving by setting up a checklist of things they can do BEFORE claiming they’re bored and grabbing technology…
✅Read for at least 20 minutes
✅Exercise – ride your bike, go for a walk, practice your ninja moves
✅10 minute tidy up
✅Self-care task – shower, brush teeth, get dressed
✅Fill a box with old toys or too-small clothes to donate
Try it out with your kids and let us know how it goes!
