Us moms we do our best to handle the day to day schedule and spend family time with our children.
We get it done even if we are tired from all the running around that we do.
We do our best to keep our children busy with wholesome activities, but they always seem to say: Mom I'm bored. I am beginning to think that there is no cure for a child's boredom.
Bored!?
I grew up in the 90's when there were no internet, cell phone and other devices. I had video games growing up but there weren't a variety and video games weren't as advance as it is now. Back then if I was bored I had to use my imagination and event something to do. It's hard to believe that a child is bored when they have endless entertainment. They have cell phone, tablets, laptops and gaming consoles ( just to name a few) and a library of video games to chose from. There are also a host of books and e-books to choose form. Not to mention that there are also traditional board games, music and movies to choose from. How does someone find themselves bored with so many options?
To Entertain or Not To Entertain?
We can have family time, quality time or family game night, but parents are not full time entertainers. There comes a time when our little ones will have to be left to discover their own creativity. I can do a lot of things as a parent but curing a child's boredom at every turn is an impossible feat. Mom's can't solve every spell of boredom, but thank goodness we can help with most things.
