Kids and their boredom

June 1, 2019 5:01pm CST
Summer is here for a great deal of children and around the corner for others. It is interesting to me the times that children say they are bored. When I was a kid we didn’t have as many of the interesting gadgets and gizmos that kids have today. I think it’s important that kids are able to just relax and enjoy whatever activity is taking place without feeling the need to rush into another activity or take part in multiple games at once. Life doesn’t always have to be thrilling and exciting all day long. This summer I plan on encouraging my children to read more, do outdoor activities that doesn’t involve electronics.

That is why we go outside when they say they are bored and make them run around.

@shavkat yes being outside is great way for them to play and release energy that they have. I know a lot of kids have a great deal of energy and it’s recommended to get at least an hour a day of exercise.

It seems that children are so into modern gadgets. I think it is also good for them to be involved in doing outdoor activities.

@katherinerose123 I hope you can incorporate this, my friend. There are some researches that kids are in the obese situation because they lack outdoor activities.

@Shavkat yes that is so true. There are a lot of children who are struggling with weight and health issues because so many kids nowadays want to be inside and playing video games and on their electronics. I think parents at times have to continue to encourage their children to go play outside and get some fresh air and exercise.

@shavkat yes going outside gives them time to get fresh air, and allows them to use their imagination. Especially when the weather is nice it gives them a great opportunity to play outside and to have fun.
