Summer boredom
Recommended by Shellie Gossling
My kids hate it but it’s SO GOOD FOR THEM. my best ideas in the summer came when I was bored. I created my own imaginary horse farm with pedigrees and stalls and horses one summer I was bored. Another summer the neighbors kids and I dug a hole all summer.
Hot tip- tell your kid you are not their cruise director and you have lots of chores that need to be done if they need something to do. They won’t bring it up again.

My mom always said, “Only boring people get bored” which is pretty much true. Moms know! I’m a firm believer that the mind needs to time to wander to be creative too.

What a great quote!!! I’m using that next time!

My mom loved to tell me “boredom is a state of mind” and I didn’t realize how genius that was until later in life.
