    What To Do When Your Child Says, “I’m Bored!”
    Nov 12 2026
    In this new podcast, Dr. Jordan describes a way to redirect kids from “I’m bored & you need you to entertain me” to “So, what will you do?” He suggests brainstorming with your kids about fun things they’d like to do when they’re bored so that they obtain the benefits of learning to take responsibility for their lives and also receive the social-emotional benefits of free, unsupervised play.

  • Why Parents Need to Value Play More

    Why Parents Need to Value Play More
    Oct 15 2026
    In this new podcast, Dr. Jordan describes the value of kids having the autonomy to choose their activities, engage in free play with some degree of risk, and teaching them to ask questions about why they love certain activities in order to discover what they love, what puts them in flow, and what fulfills them. Uncertain times require personal responsibility, independence of thought, self-initiative, self-assertion, flexibility, a willingness to take risks, and self-knowledge.
    So, we need to parent with these ends in mind.
