Apparently, children are reaching peak boredom by 11.41am during the school holidays. 😂

And perhaps that isn’t something we need to fix.

There can be so much pressure to fill the holidays — days out, activities, entertainment, plans. But children don’t need us to occupy every moment.

Sometimes they just need time.

Time alongside us.
Time to potter.
Time to complain that they’re bored.
And eventually… time to work out what to do with that boredom themselves.

Because creativity often begins in the space where nothing has been planned for them.

Let them be bored. Childhood doesn’t need an itinerary.

Did you know that your child's sense of touch plays a crucial role in their learning journey? https://ilslearningcorner.com/2016-05-tactile-learning-how-your-child-learns-through-touch-and-their-tactile-system/

Worries can feel big… but here’s something reassuring:

Many worries are actually developmental.
They’re part of a growing brain learning what feels safe, what’s new, and what matters.

So if your child is anxious, this message can help them hear:
“I’m not broken. My brain is learning.”

This visual is a gentle way to normalise worry, reduce shame, and open up calm, curious conversations at home or in the classroom.

Definitely!!

What does a safe learning environment look like for you?

If you could set up the optimal learning environment for yourself, what would that include? How would it feel?

Do you enjoy my posts about parenting? This post made the cut for my latest book. It’s a concept I’ve never seen before and I’m excited to be the first content creator to do this. I’ve taken my posts and created a book. The book is visually appealing and easy to read, just like when we scroll online or read a book to our child. You can read one post or a whole section. I know I’m bias but it is a must have for all parents who enjoy this page. It is also a way to pass on the knowledge you have gained from this account, to someone else.
