"There is a myth that doing nothing is wasting time, when it's actually extremely productive and essential," says Dr. Hirsh-Pasek. "During empty hours, kids explore the world at their own pace, develop their own unique set of interests and indulge in the sort of fantasy play that will help them figure out how to create their own happiness, handle problems with others on their own, and sensibly manage their own time. That's a critical life skill."
Interesting. So I guess I really am productive when all I'm doing is doing nothing. I'm actually doing something when it appears all I'm doing is being a lazy ass.

I must agree.
many people fell you have to be busy all the time. Kids are pushed into so many activities they never have time to play or just dream anymore.
I feel this is one of the most important thing they can do. If no one dreams or plays no one will ever come up with the next great idea.
Most great ideas all came from a dreamer.
