As a parent do you find yourself trying to entertain your kids once school lets out? You might be filling their days with activities to keep them from getting bored.
Well here's some good news for you - Boredom isn't a bad thing!
The rigorous school curriculum ensures that kids stay busy throughout the school year; so much so that a little downtime is actually good for them. As a child, I couldn't wait for summer! I loved summer camp but I also liked downtime to play with my toys, read, and color as well as play outside with my friends. My favorite outside activity was making mud pies!
