Boredom Isn't Necessarily BAD . . . Until It Is
What did you do at school today? "Nothing." Did you learn anything? "No." Did anything exciting happen? "I don't know." This conversation happens so often in homes daily. But, this child isn't actually saying they didn't do anything or didn't do anything exciting. What they're actually saying is they didn't do anything that was meaningful to them. Join us to learn the anecdote to boredom.
