Boredom
«I don't know what to do… and I don't feel like anything.»
💛
What do I feel in my body?
Everything feels slow and uninteresting, and I don't feel like doing anything in particular.
⏰
When does it appear?
When nothing catches my attention, or when something lasts longer than I can hold out for.
🌟
What can I do?
It's okay to be bored for a while — sometimes the best ideas come from there.
🧡
An idea for mum or dad
You don't need to fill every minute with stimulation. Well-accompanied boredom trains creativity and the ability to be with oneself — resist the urge to always solve it with a screen.
🚫
Better to avoid saying
Handing over a screen the moment they say "I'm bored". Tolerated boredom is a muscle you train, not a problem to switch off quickly.
Shall we play at recognising emotions?
