Last month，my husband and I completed what some of our friends considered a foolish task：a 32 day，5，232 mile camping trip with children in our Volkswagen van，without “high technology” to occupy the children.
It was the screenless journey that showered me with doubts.But is “boredom” nless？My friend Renee，who has driven cross country with her three kids eight times，calls boredom the mother of creativity.She's not the only one who es virtue in bl
ank time.In a recently published paper，rearchers at the University of East Anglia in England concluded that the trance(发呆) helps recharge the mind and is “central to learning and creativity”．I wasn't trying to make my kids smarter.Neither do I dislike high technology.But I understand too well the power of mini screens to transform our kids into zombies(木讷呆板的人).
On Day 1，our ven year old son announced “Texas is so boring！” The next day，struggling against his at belt，he yelled he couldn't take much more of this.His five year old sister was better in the long hours playing make believe with the stuffed animals.On Day 3 he began to count mountains and e pandas and dolphins in distant clouds in the Texas sky.I often joined the kids in the back，where we did the thumb and toe wrestle.With well known mountains ahead，my husband told the children the past legends of them.“Arizona is not as boring as Texas，” our son declared.
I hope the trip gave kids some lazy，unstructured time to learn something about valuing the trip instead of looking for the_fastest_way to burn it up.I don't always make the right d
ecision as a parent but I know that by banning the small screen we made the right choice this time.
