The words of “boredom”, “bored”, and “What do I do?” Some of our children are frequently hesitated. On the other hand, some parents are surprised by this repetition, because they felt that they have provided their children everything that makes them not feel this feeling.
The diaries of our children may be routinely scheduled: go to school, then eat lunch after returning, followed by the performance of school duties, then playing with smart devices, and finally early sleep in the evening.
Such a daily routine may feel bored, and does not give them the opportunity to practice other activities that stimulate their thinking and stimulate their minds. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the issue of boredom and its negative impact on our children, by practicing unwanted behaviors, their preoccupation with smart devices, or their feeling of distress, tension, and anxiety.
When our children repeat words such as: “boredom”, “boredom”, this feeling did not come in vain, but may carry a purposeful message that motivates their minds to search for new works, other than those they used to.
Before thinking about the roads and alternatives to deal with our children towards the feeling of boredom to start ourselves and to make sure that we are a family that we do not repeat these words successively, so the children repeat them in their descent, and our chance is to motivate them to think about alternatives and options that raise their enthusiasm and develop their creativity. Let us leave them space for research and discovery, and to encourage their thinking about creating new ideas, and give them the opportunity to participate in alternative proposals and various activities.
How do we invest boredom in developing the skills and creativity of our children?
– Establish a family program with the participation of children that contain practical and practical steps that the family can implement with children, such as: proposing home competitions, providing tools for handicrafts, or assigning the child to the responsibility of family entertainment by searching for games and home competitions.- Urging children to experience new hobbies and activities that they have not been practiced, we may discover their underlying talents.- Encouraging them to read, it is an effective way To expand their knowledge and openness to new horizons and worlds.- Take them on trips to enjoy nature, as being in its arms gives them a feeling of refreshment and renewal.
When we help our children learn how to deal with boredom, we give them an opportunity to be more independent and dependent on themselves in confronting it in a positive and innovative way. This gives them the ability to make decisions and think about “outside the box”, without constantly relying on parents. Boredom is not a feeling that we deal with negatively, but rather a real opportunity to develop and create our children.
