About this Episode

Do you feel the pressure to make sure your kids are occupied every minute? Zan and Ginny Yurich discuss the surprisingly incredible value of letting your kids be bored. By giving children plenty of time to play, explore, discover, build, and create, they learn to use their imaginations to come up with innovative activities and solutions. Intentionally creating space and margins in your children’s lives allows them to take risks, develop grit and resilience, and learn to love life. This sets them up for success in an ever-changing world. You don’t want to miss this message of hope for your homeschool family!

Podcast Sponsor

At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
