The B Word

A TV show this morning warning about how watching computer screens isn't good for the growth of a child's brain made me think about when I was a kid (pre-computers) and my best friend and I would sit in my room, talking about how bored we were....until we'd come up with ideas for new games, creating crafts or outside adventures.

Next time I get bored, I'll try to avoid the habit of picking up my iPad.

Instead I'll remind myself to look around, think deep thoughts or talk to someone. Reading is always a great option, too (g).

Boredom isn't the enemy, it's a staircase to new ideas and creativity. Embrace your boredom
