200. What if boredom is the emotional reset your child actually needs?

200. What if boredom is the emotional reset your child actually needs?

Is boredom a problem—or a powerful emotional signal? 


In this episode of #Overpowering Emotions, Dr. Caroline challenges the modern urge to “fix” boredom and shares why it’s actually essential for emotion regulation, creativity, and executive function. 


Learn how boredom acts as a reset for the brain, encourages self-reflection, and builds resilience in kids and adults alike. 


Discover why sitting in stillness matters more than ever—and how doing nothing may be exactly what growing minds need.


Homework Ideas

 

  • Schedule daily "do-nothing" breaks: 3–5 minutes of intentional stillness—no phones, music, or multitasking. Just breathe, notice, and pause.


  • Model boredom tolerance: Say “I’m bored too—let’s sit with it together” (even if you aren’t). Normalize the emotion without rushing to fix it. Who knows what spark might happen!


  • Reframe the language: Instead of “I’m bored,” try “I’m resetting” or “I’m giving my brain a break.” Teach this shift to your kids.


  • Observe your own reaction to kids’ boredom: Are you rushing to solve it? Sit with that discomfort too.


  • Create a boredom menu: Use the resource below as a proactive list of creative activities kids can reference before they feel bored. Designed to spark curiosity after rest—not replace it.
