Hi, I’m Andrianna — and I believe boredom is one of the best gifts we can give our kids.

My passion for helping kids unplug started with something I experienced myself. I grew up right in the middle of the big shift — from handwritten assignments and after-school bike rides to typed homework, group chats, and constant notifications.

As a student, I saw how quickly things changed. Friends who once spent hours playing outside or creating art started comparing themselves to filtered lives on social media. Confidence wavered. Creativity took a back seat. And “I’m bored” became a cry for instant entertainment instead of an invitation to imagine.

Those years made me realize how much childhood has changed — and how much kids today need space to slow down, think for themselves, and build their own sense of self outside a screen.

Now, as a child development professional and social worker, I’ve worked alongside hundreds of families, helping kids grow into confident, creative, and resilient humans. I created Boredom is Brilliant to give parents practical tools to raise screen-smart kids — starting with the 30-Day Screen-Free Fun Guide.

Let’s make “I’m bored” the start of something amazing again.

The “Why” Behind Boredom is Brilliant:

These days, it’s easy to hand kids a screen when they’re restless — but I believe there’s a better way. Boredom isn’t the enemy. It’s the spark that fuels curiosity, resilience, and resourcefulness. I created Boredom is Brilliant to make screen-free living not only possible but fun, doable, and rewarding for the whole family.

My Promise to You:
Everything I share here is designed to be low-prep, affordable, and realistic for busy families. No Pinterest-perfect crafts that take three hours — just practical, fun ideas that work in real life.

Let’s raise a generation of kids who know how to think, create, and problem-solve — because boredom really is brilliant.
