Don't be afraid to let your child be bored -- it is a good exercise for the brain! Instead of solving the problem for them, encourage your child build their own "drop down menu" of things in their brain that they can do when they are bored at home or in class.

Today's tips are for step five, which is to "Promote Problem Solving." Encourage your child to think about/figure out for themselves what is the "big picture" in a variety of situations. Parents can actually stunt their child's cognitive growth by doing too many things for them!

The 2nd step in @OrganizedChild is Introduce Order. School-age kids have a huge potential for growth in this area. Parents can help build their students' skills by prompting and nudging them along as they create schedules, lists, and plan how to manage homework & other projects.
