I hadn't heard of the concept before but I will definitely be showing this to DP as we both agree that DD needs to have "bored" time. Remember when you were a kid and you would walk around saying "I'm booooored - there's nothing to do" so you would have to find something to do? I think many kids never have bored time these days so they don't know how to deal with it.

Having said that we do take DD to swimming lessons - more for the safety aspect as we spend a lot of time in the water as a family and we think DD should be water aware and understand how to stay safe.
