Does This Sound Familiar?

Your child lets out that signature boredom “sigh”.

Not long after that, you can expect them to pull at your sleeve, with one of the following exclamations:

• “Ugh, it’s raining and there’s nothing to do!”
• “What are we even going to do this weekend?”
• “Mommy, I’m bored!”

What should they do? Well, often your guess is as good as theirs.

And if you don’t come up with something, and fast, there are two options:

• They will resort to a computer, TV or tablet.
• They will organise a potentially dangerous activity and wreck the house before you even have a chance to yell at them.
• They will whine and act up until you come up with something to do (oh, and it better not be boring).

So you panic and start to think about different activities you could do together. Should you draw? Watch a cartoon? Play with legos?

But you’ve done all of these things a hundred times over!

Your kids’ eyes are starting to wander towards the computer as you scramble for ideas.

You are trying to come up with something great and fun, but nothing comes to mind.

Wouldn’t it be great if you had ready-made quality time activities at your disposal every time boredom strikes?

Quality time rarely comes easy.

If you want to offer your kids activities with which they will have fun and learn something new at the same time, it won’t happen without at least a little bit of effort, knowledge and creativity.

And here’s why that’s a problem for most parents:

• You have less time than you ever had before. Balancing work and life is becoming more challenging by the day. Research shows that today people get 26% of their work done outside of working hours, which means you often stop working well after 5 P.M.
• When you actually do get some free time, you are so exhausted you would rather spend it in a passive way, resting or watching TV.
• Although kids used to spend most of their free time outside, playing with other kids on the block, today they rather opt for computer games and “socialising” online.
• Creativity and playfulness start to wane with age for most people, so you don’t really have the quirkiness and extravagance it takes to entertain a child every single day.
• You’ve probably spent most of your education time learning about your profession, instead of learning about child psychology, development and play, like us, educators.

But none of these hurdles are insurmountable.

Creativity and playfulness can be trained and strengthened over time.

If you are truly dedicated to spending quality time with your child, you will be able to do so with a little bit of planning and effort.

You are probably ready and excited to do this, but one problem still remains: WHAT to do?

What kind of activity to set up? And how to promote skill development and learning through play?

I will tell you all about that now.

Keep it simple

Keeping your children busy in a useful, smart and fun way can be extremely easy.

Just remember your childhood. How did you play, when you were as young as your children are now?

Remember hopscotch grids? Jumping rope? Elastics? Even marbles kept us busy for hours!

We could spend entire afternoons jumping over a rope, playing hide and seek or trying to get that marble just in the right spot.

The most important thing was that we were socialising and we were always challenged.

Who can jump the highest?

Who can complete the hopscotch grid perfectly?

And most importantly, how to improve for the next time?

How to get better?

Children respond very well to challenges and experiments. The activities that will spark their curiosity, competitiveness and put their brains to work is exactly what will engage them the most.

Screen time is today’s biggest issue.

But today you’re competing with computers, tablets, TVs and smartphones.

Research shows today’s kids are facing some serious problems due to excessive screen use:

• They have trouble falling asleep and sleep less in general. The blue light that screens emit can suppress melatonin production in the body, and delay sleepiness.
• They have unrealistic expectations of what life should look like, since they only see what is presented on social media. As we all know, people upload only the best 1% of their life onto social media and online in general, so it is not nearly an accurate representation of how things work in real life.
• They have more mental health issues like anxiety, depression and attention disorders. Interestingly enough all of this online socialising often leads to isolation and loneliness. It is also a gateway for cyber bullying.
• Children who reported more than two hours a day of screen time got lower scores on thinking and language tests.
• Several studies suggest higher levels of screen use in children and adolescents is associated with reduced physical activity, leading to obesity.

From A Struggling School Principal To Over 65,000 Parenting Students Worldwide

I’m Marko Juhant, and I’ve been working with kids for the past 40 years. But working with children wasn’t always easy for me…

Before I had my own two kids, I had a job at a school for “challenging” kids…

Many of them had short attention spans, which meant they lost their focus immediately.

This was also true when it came to play time. When I gave them an activity to do, they became bored after only 10 minutes.

I felt powerless and frustrated because I had no clue what to do about it.

Then it all suddenly changed.

I discovered activities that helped me predictably and reliably get kids to be involved and keep them engaged even longer than 1 hour at a time.

I used the same activities with my kids when they were bored and to grow a deeper bond with them.

And these same activities are now helping 1000s of families all over the world spend quality time together.

I’ve probably been where you are right now

I have encountered many sedentary and screen obsessed children throughout my career.

Kids that couldn’t be motivated to do anything else other than play computer games and browse on YouTube.

When I took these kids for a walk in nature, they found everything to be boring. They were extremely unimpressed by their surroundings.

The sounds were too quiet, the scents were too faint, everything was bland and uninteresting.

That is until I would start experimenting with different activities and observing how kids reacted to them.

Which activities would grab their attention immediately, no matter what they were doing at the time?

What was unique about activities that kept them engaged for more than 30 minutes at a time?

When I figured that out, I decided to inject education into these activities. This way, they would learn something new whenever they engaged in an activity.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

The only way to get kids predictably and reliably engaged in an activity for longer than 30 minutes is if it meets the following conditions:

1. The activity has to sound fun and be fun. This is how you’ll grab your kids’ attention and spike their interest in the activity.
2. It has to stimulate the creative part of their brain. When kids exercise their creativity, they feel the time pass by faster. This keeps them engaged for a longer period of time.
3. It has to be novel. Kids often get bored of doing the same 5 activities over and over again. So, to keep them engaged, the activity you suggest should be something they haven’t done before.
4. It has to be educational. This way, your kids can develop new skills and acquire knowledge through play. The time spent on an activity will be productive – which is often not true with screen time.
