SuitabookI’m (almost) Never Bored
Anna Milbourne
- Reading
- Read it as an invitation rather than a rule: pause over each transformation, then let the child suggest a different possibility. Follow their ideas without requiring a craft, game or immediate solution.
- Themes
- Boredom and creativity: A child moves from objecting to lost screen time into imaginative play involving household objects, drawings and garden insects. The book clearly presents boredom as a useful opening for new ideas and treats the child’s imaginative response positively.
- Screens and limits: The child’s screen time is cut short, prompting an initial complaint before the imaginative sequence begins. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The story begins with a child protesting after screen time is cut short, so families may wish to notice how her feelings change and whether the suggested creative turn feels inviting or pressuring.
