Good points, Courtney. My kids also have avoided us because they knew that if they weren’t doing anything they would be given a job. Maybe a good idea would be to have their jobs listed out and when they are done, they are done. Sometimes though, it’s a little hard to judge how long chores can take and what our kids are capable of.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Lol! I also agree with Elisabeth that when children are bored its GOOD for them to just think/meditate. As we get older we always feel like we have to be doing-doing-doing…and the Lord wants us to slow down so He can speak to us.

For some reason, my children are rarely bored. 😉
