Tara’s Take - Parenting, Education & Life With Kids
Kids & Family:Parenting
Struggle with your child's constant complaints of boredom or felt the pressure to constantly entertain them? Feeling guilty about screen time and want to strike a better balance?
In today's episode, I discuss how to approach boredom with intention and provide suggestions to help your children learn to manage this feeling on their own.
I also tackle the challenge of helping children navigate boredom in our fast-paced, on-demand world and share insights on reframing boredom as independent play, creative thinking, or other forms of self-guided exploration. By doing so, you can take a step back and give your child the space they need to handle their own feelings of frustration, without constantly intervening.
