🌿 Boredom is not the enemy — it’s the beginning of creativity.
Angela Hanscom, author of Balanced and Barefoot, reminds us that when children say “I’m bored,” it’s often the first step toward imaginative play.
When we resist the urge to fill every moment or offer constant direction, kids learn to create their own fun — a stick becomes a fishing pole, a leaf becomes soup, and a patch of dirt becomes a whole world of discovery.
Unstructured, outdoor time gives children the space to think, explore, and invent. So the next time your little one says they’re bored… take a breath, step outside, and see what unfolds. 🌞
