Post: Fighting Boredom
In years past, my family would make at least one annual trip from Texas to Nebraska. With young kids in the car, it would take about 15 hours with multiple stops for eating, gas, and restroom breaks. I often thought about why my body was so tired after all that driving. It seemed that doing nothing but steering would build up an energy reserve. As it turns out, doing nothing (or near it), can be really draining. In order to keep kids from getting bored and driving everyone crazy, there should be a variety of activities and exercise, physical movement, and rigorous play should not be pushed to the background. If we want their minds and bodies to function at their peak, even during a pandemic, the body cannot be ignored. They'll sleep better too.
