<p>In this Mother Funny episode, Andie and Angie are talking about the super exciting topic- boredom. January might feel like the longest month of the year, especially when it’s cold outside. Long weekends, cold temps, and snow outside can have kids wandering through the house looking for something fun to do. It's at that moment when your kids declare the ultimate dreaded phrase: "Mom, I'm bored!" But guess what, there's no need to panic. Andie and Angie have been there and completely understand. As it turns out, short bursts of boredom actually encourage creativity and problem-solving skills. Boredom is actually a healthy and typical emotion for kids to feel. Crafts, puzzles, playing cards, board games, and painting are fantastic ideas to keep kids engaged and having fun. Sometimes all moms need to do is encourage their kids to come up with a fun activity all on their own. It’s amazing to see what kids can create when they are given the time and space to simply create whatever they want to. So take a deep breath mama’s because it’s not your job to entertain your kids 100% of the time. You’re already really busy being an amazing mom!</p>
