I love reading your posts. You have a way of explaining things that just makes everything so clear!
I've been trying to explain to colleagues at work recently that children are rarely just bored. There's a deeper meaning (usually!). This post explains exactly that, thank you so much!
As a side note, I often make myself bored when I'm struggling to be creative or solve a problem. I set a timer for around 30 minutes, turn my phone onto aeroplane mode, switch the TV off and sit in silence (or outside in summer). While I'm being 'bored', I let my mind wander around the problem, and I usually come up with at least 2 or 3 potential solutions.
In that instance, I think boredom is almost a superpower!

Wow, I so appreciate this idea of “making yourself bored!” Such a great reframe.
And thank you so much for reading! I am glad that my posts feel clear and SEEN by you! Appreciate you.
Thank you! Appreciate you too! 😊
