Let them get bored
& for sure they will explore
I make sure if my kids complaining about getting bored, I just let them be bored!!
Ah !! you must be thinking “What kind mom is she ?”
I read somewhere that kids who get bored more often they have the more creative brain.So, I decided to give it a try.
Guess what ??
When I told my daughter “Ok !! Good, you are getting bored. Do whatever can make your day happening and fun.” and she turned up saying “Mom ok don’t you want to give an idea what to do, I will do something good” and she herself called her friends at home and started practicing for some random dance number.
And when in our society we had some cultural event they danced and believe me this dance is only choreographed by my daughter and her friends and was much appreciated.
and I realized my daughter who was only into sports and singing enhanced her dancing skill with her friends and this happened because she was bored.
Well, I am not that heartless mom.. Apart from letting them get bored I make sure to spend quality time and explore what they are good in.
Few things which I tried to get their creative side to come out:
- Let they get dirty: Yes, with colors, paints and some major disaster at home but they always came up with some new picture
- Make sure they read books and then act that story in the funniest way like they can really live some funny stories in real.
- Last but not least let them be what they want and do just enjoy their fun time as kids can bring the creative thing in everything.

So, this is my take on bringing the creative side of kids.. How you do that ?? Do tell me in the comment section !!
Yes I agree with you and did nt we also come up with our own play ideas when we were younger? Too much of structured play can harm the creativity ans not let it grow I feel. It is good to let kids explore
Letting them get bored so that they use their imagination is a superb idea Ruchi.Excellent infact.Thank you for sharing this story with us on #MondayMommyMoments.Great dancing by your daughter and her friends.Our best wishes
Getting bored is actually good. It helps them to think creatively. And creativity is good for kids and their imagination. Thanks for linking up with #MMM
I am with you on this, boredom often gets the best creativity out of kids ?
