Turning Boredom into Growth: Everyday Moments that Build Life Skills When summer days are unstructured, children often turn to screens to fill their time—especially when they say, "I'm bored." But boredom can be a valuable opportunity for growth. Join us to explore how everyday moments and downtime can spark creativity, problem-solving, resilience, and independence in young children. Learn practical strategies to reduce screen-time struggles and help children engage in meaningful play, build communication skills, and strengthen emotional development through simple routines, visual supports, and easy-to-use activities that fit into daily family life. For families with children 2 to 8.Questions, email lrhodes@howardcountymd.gov
