Boredom Sparks Kids' Creativity—No Screen Guilt Needed
This morning I was practicing dance in my studio when my son knocked on the door. "Can I watch Land Before Time?" "Not right now. You can play with your sister and we will watch it after dinner." 20 minutes later I saw him outside picking flowers around the property to make a bouquet. This is why I do not feel guilty saying no to screens. Boredom is a privilege for a child. You do not need to save them from it. Their brains are wired to create when you do not hand them a screen. You just have to let them get bored enough to do it.
