When we hand our children phones, we steal their boredom—and with it, we may be stealing their creativity. Boredom is where imagination takes root. It’s in the stillness that they discover who they truly are without the noise of the world. When every moment is filled, their minds have no space to wander, no room to create. Sound familiar? What if instead of filling every quiet second with entertainment, we allowed them to sit with their thoughts? To dream, to imagine, to explore the depths of their own creativity and potential? Let’s give our children (and ourselves) the gift of being bored—the chance to find our passions, to learn the art of sitting in stillness, and to explore the world that exists inside us. Because in those quiet moments, who knows what brilliance might unfold? 💡✨ #LetThemBeBored #unschooling #worldschooling #pottery | Amber Hawthorne | Worldschooling | Skincare
