Parenting as a Creative Act (why boredom is GOOD) | Parenting creativity | Jessica Hover
Before life with kids, we didn't know it was possible to be over-stimulated and completely BORED at the same time. There's so much to do, it's loud all the time, everyone wants something and yet...it's kind of the same thing over and over. The good news is - boredom is good for you (and it's good for your kids).
Boredom is a call to creativity--an invitation to find the thing inside that once fired your passions and use it to bring meaning to the time you spend with your children. You just participated in the most creative act possible: you co-created a new person with the universe and now you get to introduce them to it.
This part of life might feel never-ending, but we have to recognize that raising kids is just that - one PART of life. You will have another action after this and you will take what you learned through this time into the next (this is why mothers make excellent CEOs but that's another conversation...).
Jess and Layne talk about how to bring creative momentum back into your life, celebrate the little discoveries your child makes AS creative acts, and use your passions to enhance your experience of parenthood.
