Listen "#130: Let Him Be Bored"
Episode Synopsis
It was a summer day, and three dads were trying to come up with a way to keep their children occupied. They rummaged through their garages and found wiffle balls and wooden paddles. After taking their kids to a neighbor’s badminton court, the dads lowered the net, and let the children whack the wiffle balls. Those three bored fathers had no idea that they had just developed a game that would later become extremely popular, called Pickleball. There’s a lesson for us parents in this story– let your son be bored. Don’t be afraid to confiscate the smartphone and the tablet and leave him with nothing to do. He might accidentally develop one of the fastest growing and most popular sports in the United States!To learn more about raising boys to be successful and godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
