Boring Rocks!

There has been a lot of press lately about whether boredom is a good thing for our over-scheduled kids. I think that boring rocks!

We don't usually have over-scheduled lives, but this summer has been uber slow, mostly due to my lack of a job and hence a need to schedule their time. And guess what the kidlets are doing? Drawing, reading, walking the dog, playing with pals, entertaining themselves. I'm totally shocked. I felt guilty at first because my youngest (10 years) wasn't getting enough 'exciting' things to do. Then I quit my guilt trip and let her (and me) be. She is entertaining herself now, without my help.

So no guilt, parents. Boring can be great.
