Psychologists recommend children be bored in the summer
Do you entertain ( ) your kids with chess ( ) camp, art school, cooking classes, or tennis lessons during the unstructured ( ) summer months? Or perhaps all of them?
There are activities and summer camps galore ( ) to fill children’s time and supply much needed childcare when kids are out of school. But psychologists and child development experts suggest that over-scheduling children during the summer is unnecessary and could ultimately ( ) keep kids from discovering what truly interests them.
“Your role as a parent is to prepare children to take their place in society. Being an adult means occupying ( ) yourself and filling up your leisure time in a way that will make you happy,” says Lyn Fry, a child psychologist in London with a focus on education. “If parents spend all their time filling up their child’s spare time ( ), then the child’s never going to learn to do this for themselves.”
Fry is not the only one to point out ( ) the benefits of boredom ( ). Dr. Teresa Belton, visiting fellow ( ) at the University of East Anglia with a focus on the connection between boredom and imagination ( ), told the BBC that boredom is crucial for developing “internal stimulus ( ),” which then allows true creativity.
Fry suggests that at the start of the summer, parents sit down with their kids—at least those above the age of four—and collectively ( ) write down a list of everything their children might enjoy doing during their break. These can be basic activities, such as playing cards, reading a book, or going for a bicycle ride. They could also be more elaborate ( ) ideas such as cooking a fancy ( ) dinner, putting on a play, or practicing photography.
Then, if your child comes to you throughout ( ) the summer complaining of boredom, tell them to go and look at the list.

心理學家建議，孩子們暑假不妨多發點呆
暑假沒規畫，你會送孩子去西洋棋營隊、才藝班、烹飪課或學網球玩樂一番嗎？或可能每項都參加？
有很多精采活動與夏令營填滿孩子的時間，並提供許多校外孩童照護服務。不過心理學者與孩童發展專家建議，沒必要為孩子的暑假過度安排活動，最終可能阻礙孩子探索他們真正的興趣。
倫敦兒童教育心理學家琳恩．佛萊(Lyn Fry)表示：「家長的角色是讓孩子準備好邁入社會。變成大人代表自己找事做並填滿你的休閒時間，而且從中感到快樂。如果家長用盡時間填滿小孩的閒暇時間，那麼孩子永遠沒辦法自己學會這些事。」
佛萊並非唯一指出無聊好處的人。英國東英吉利大學客座教授泰瑞莎．貝爾頓(Teresa Belton)博士專研無聊與想像力的關係，她告訴英國國家廣播公司(BBC)，無聊對發展「內在刺激」至關重要，這有助形成真正的創意。
佛萊建議，家長在夏季一開始就該和至少四歲以上的孩子坐下來談話，一起寫下小孩暑假可能想做的所有事項清單。這可以是基本活動，例如玩牌、讀一本書或騎腳踏車；也可以是更複雜的內容，像是煮一頓豐盛晚餐、參演話劇或練習攝影。
接著，如果你的孩子在暑假時跟你抱怨很無聊，就叫孩子看看那份清單。
