33| Why Your Kid's Boredom Is Really a Call for Connection

In this follow-up to The Gift of Boredom, Kelsey dives deeper into what’s really happening when our kids say, “I’m bored.” Drawing from Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Maté, she explores how boredom isn’t just about needing more to do—it’s often a signal for reconnection and attachment.

You’ll learn:

Why boredom can be a powerful opportunity to “collect” your child’s heart
How modern life and peer attachment have shifted children’s sense of belonging
Why quick fixes like screens, playdates, and constant entertainment often backfire
What you can offer instead to become your child’s emotional anchor
How cultivating connection through boredom prepares kids to be at peace in silence—and to hear God’s quiet voice

Kelsey weaves her perspective as a mom of four, counselor, and mindful parenting guide into this heartfelt episode that will help you see boredom not as a problem to solve, but as a bridge back to connection, creativity, and even communion with God.
