"I'm bored!" - Why kids complain & how to handle it

Does your child constantly say, “I’m bored!” and expect you to fix it? 

In this episode, we break down what boredom really means for kids—when it is good and sparks creativity and when it leads to misbehavior and needs to be addressed. 

We’ll talk about:

  • Why some kids struggle with unstructured time
  • How boredom can be an escape hatch from what’s happening
  • When parents should step in versus letting kids figure it out

Plus, you’ll get practical parenting tips on handling boredom without giving in, creating a balanced routine, and helping kids develop independent play skills. 

If you’re looking for tips for kids' boredom, preventing tantrums, and encouraging creativity, this episode is for you!
