## Resource

Summer brings something many parents dread: bored kids. The familiar cry of "There's nothing to do!" often sends adults scrambling for activities or handing over a screen. But what if boredom isn't a problem to solve? What if it's one of the greatest opportunities for growth? In this episode of Facing the Dark , Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore why unstructured time builds competence, creativity, resilience, and self discovery. Together, they unpack research showing that boredom becomes one of God's most powerful classrooms when parents resist the urge to entertain and instead help children learn to engage with the world around them.
