About this listen
If you've ever felt that sinking feeling when your child whines "I'm bored" - that pressure to come up with activities, suggest something, or hand over a screen - this episode is for you.
Parent Coach Raelee Peirce cuts through the confusion about childhood boredom and gives you permission to stop being your child's entertainment committee.
You'll discover:
- What boredom actually IS (hint: it's not a lack of things to do)
- Why our children are the most stimulated AND most bored generation ever
- The three reasons kids lose their natural curiosity and creativity
- Why trying to "fix" boredom makes it worse, not better
- The exact steps to take when your child says "I'm bored" (and what NOT to do)
- Real examples of what emergence looks like in 5-year-olds, 8-year-olds, and 10-year-olds
- How to know if it's working (and what to do if it's not)
This isn't about being a "mean parent" who doesn't care if their child is uncomfortable. It's about understanding that boredom is a symptom of missing emergent energy - and that energy can't develop when we keep filling the space from the outside.
If you're ready to help your child discover that they have something inside them - curiosity, imagination, creativity, initiative - this episode will show you how.
