📋 Tool of the Week: The Boredom Menu 🥪
Are you hearing "I'm bored" on repeat? This week, we’re helping your kids become their own problem-solvers with a Boredom Menu!
The goal is to have your kids generate a list of screen-free activities they actually enjoy. Categorize them to spark their creativity:
🎨 Make Something: Build a fort, create a card, or set up an obstacle course.
💃 Move Your Body: Have a dance party, go for a bike ride, or stretch.
🦄 Use Your Imagination: Play pretend, write a story, or draw.
🐶 Be With Someone: Teach the dog a trick or interview a family member.
📚 Get Cozy: Read a book, listen to music, or organize a shelf.
The Pro Tip: Post the menu on the fridge. When boredom strikes, redirect them to the list they created! You aren't just filling time; you're teaching them to manage their own downtime.
