You've certainly got a believer in me. A central feature of our parenting strategy is to treat boredom as The Enemy. We may have looked absurd in the toddler years when we were hauling around a huge bag full of activities, but that was the price we were willing to pay for peace.
us, too. when DD5 goes to sleep over at her grandparents' place for ONE NIGHT... it's like she's going away for a month. puzzles, games, mazes, books, art supplies - and now, a laptop for her online math and science stuff. it's bananas, but it's all necessary. huh - now i kind of wish i could just send all that with her to school every day!
