Bored, nothing to do this summer?

I was bored, nothing to do! "Bored I'm sure you've never heard that at home! Have you read the book by Peter Spier, to do nothing? These are two brothers who sends his mother to do something so boring. In the box, which build a plane and fly ... If you do not read the book, go to your library and get a copy. If you are 6, 16 or 36, you will enjoy. I think going to read it again!

The plane "project" results from boredom. There aretwo solutions for the ennui your children ', let me share with you. I think both were positive for your children this summer and hope to share this with your friends and family.

Last fall I read an article by our local librarian. He noted that produces boredom creativity in children. Think about it. If your children are bored often find something to do alone. It takes creativity to imagine and invent your own "project". Think of two brothersSpier book. They were boring, and certainly used their creativity to build and fly a plane.

In this sense, you must provide stimulating resources for children. Resources can be as simple as sticks in the garden or similar vehicles, baskets, boxes, lego involved. If you are bored, as these resources can overcome boredom sparks their imagination. Children usually find something to do because they will not be bored.

PermitChildren to overcome boredom with their creative projects allows you to see your true passions and interests of children.

Another solution to boredom is to report your child could go places, to cure their boredom. If your child is sitting on the couch and just staring at the ceiling, the boxes reminiscent of Lego into his cabinet, or parts under the track bed. If your daughter is on her bed and do nothing, we speak of the basket of art supplies in the family room. You get theIdea.

I realize that mothers employed do not always have time to remember the tips for your children, to encourage creativity. You can print, cut out the list and put each in a glass. Let your child choose one when they are "boring." (This is part of a list sent to me years ago, but I do not know its origin.)
