00:00:00.000 Your kids are allowed to be bored.

00:00:01.560 Your kids are allowed to stare at the wall.

00:00:03.280 My mother-in-law said it best.

00:00:04.540 My kid came to her one day when he was little and said,

00:00:06.640 I'm bored.

00:00:07.240 And she goes, your boredom is not my problem.

00:00:09.720 And he was like, ah, what do I do?

00:00:11.300 Grandma just told me, ah.

00:00:12.800 Go outside and throw a rock, man.

00:00:14.400 I don't know.

00:00:15.040 Grab your brother, go smack some stick against some trees

00:00:17.220 and see if it makes noise.

00:00:18.120 The amount of parents that I see use iPads

00:00:20.340 to pacify their children

00:00:21.760 because they don't want to be adults

00:00:23.100 to actually take care of the kids.

00:00:24.640 Immediately, anytime there's any friction,

00:00:26.800 give them the iPad.

00:00:27.460 We're going for dinner, give them the iPad.

00:00:28.820 We got friends over and I don't want to deal with them.

00:00:30.760 Give them the iPad.

00:00:31.500 I got something important to get done.

00:00:32.920 Give them the iPad.
