Why Unstructured Time Matters
Friday, May 22, 2026

Here's a little trick from developmental psychology:
Unstructured time builds executive function, creativity, and self-direction.
Kids who are constantly scheduled don't develop these skills as well. Summer is perfect for boredom and self-directed play.
Don't fill every moment. Leave gaps. Watch what they create.
