How important is it to actually let children be bored?

Oh my goodness.

So this is something that I'm so passionate about, about children being bored.

And I think we nearly almost get triggered by the word bored, or we nearly feel like it's like something negative.

But being bored for a child is the most powerful space that we can give them.

So even just a few minutes of allowing a child to be bored is giving them space to use their imagination, their problem solving, their being creative.

Like, for example, a child go outside and they could just explore the world around them and they could pretend that a stick is like a sword or a wand.

What can parents and guardians do to make that transition easier?
