Ever found yourself fighting boredom or feeling guilty for not keeping every minute of your child's day filled with activities? Well, this episode is for you.

Let's rethink boredom and see it from a different perspective. We'll explore how a slower pace and even boredom can be beneficial for our mental and physical wellbeing, especially in our digital age where we are constantly "switched on."

I'll share my own experiences as a parent, having a child with autism and how I learned to embrace a different rhythm of life, and delve into the importance of boredom in sparking creativity and allowing space for reflection, and why it's so crucial for our children's development and our own sanity.
