Boredom is Okay — 2 Comments

  1. Hurray for boredom! I’m so glad someone else feels this way. I wasn’t one who scheduled my kids for lots of classes and activities. As adults now, they enjoy quiet, unscheduled time. They learned to fill their time with hobbies, and learned what things they enjoyed and what things they didn’t. They found that being with themselves (and not always with friends) was actually nice! Thanks for this terrific post!

  2. Yay! I love this. I’ve often heard my husband say to young people “Boring is good,” then he goes on about all the terrible things that could happen – but that’s a little to one side of what you were writing about. Kids need to be challenged to think up their own activities (and put their cell phones away for a while.)
