My Daughter Knows How to Appreciate Boredom

Tweet

When I’ve attended the seminar of the Digital Age Parenting last year we were also told by a Psychologist that our children should also learn to appreciate the BOREDOM, meaning in some situation they are not supposed to have their Ipad or any gadgets just to entertain themselves. In the first place gadgets are not the solution to get rid for being bored where in fact the pedia doctors do not really recommend because it affects the emotions of the kid when everything is just easy access. In the end parents are the losers here because whenever the kid cries you will do some easy ways to make the kid to be quiet, because soon we will suffer and there is a big tendency that the kid will be spoiled. Now that is what I am so proud about my daughter, she can easily entertain herself without anything such as toys and gadgets. I actually brought her to a seminar which was 4 hours she just listened in the first 2 hours then slept for another 2 hours. She was even responding in some questions. When I am bringing her in some funeral viewing she is just usually sitting down then later will just play alone. That is already the practice that she is not holding any gadgets. Before that was my practice but then when she spent graveyard on the Ipad that is the time I became so alarmed. I kept the ipad and never let her used it. Of course she had her tantrums but I still let her feel that I am the mother I am still the authority and she should still obey and respect me.
