How to Entertain Your Kids This Summer? Maybe Don’t
You can keep your family safe and sane by encouraging old-school play, embarking on some D.I.Y. projects and, yes, even embracing boredom.
|
Feeling that we need to keep kids happy and entertained is a relatively modern mind-set that speaks to resources and luxuries. Instead of trying to prevent boredom, maybe welcome it and see what your kids do.

"So now, in the midst of this pandemic, I think of all the mothers and fathers with kids at home. Your children don't want you perfect. They just want you honest. And doing your best. In fact, the more room they have to be great where you are weak, the stronger they may become."
