This is Zen Parenting Radio. My name is Todd.

This is Kathy.

Last week, I don't think I said what it was.

I just said, this is Todd.

Todd Adams.

So it's Zen Parenting Radio. Well, they know by the music,

the intro music. What if it's some new person? Then you're making a good choice by telling

them what it is this time. Another good choice by me. Yes. What else is new? Um, so many new things.

What are we talking about today? We're going to talk about over-scheduling kids and allowing for boredom.

Because boredom is a good thing.

Yes.

And over-scheduling is a bad thing.

See, I'm being quiet to see if you get bored.

No, I'm not bored.

Okay, good.

I'm just trying to create a little space.

Okay, which is what boredom really is. I think boredom gets a bad rap.

I think that when people think of boredom, they think that's a bad thing.

And boredom is really the only time that your imagination can take over.

Yeah, it's when it has the opportunity to let it go, let the imagination go.

You're right.

And so you can come up with new ideas.
