why low stimulus ≠ boring
"won't my kid get bored?" it's the #1 question we get. here's the answer.
the confusion
we've been trained to think "engaging" means "stimulating." bright colors! fast cuts! constant noise! but that's not engagement—that's overstimulation.
what engagement actually looks like
- singing along
- dancing
- pointing at things
- talking about what they see
- asking to watch again
zoning out isn't engagement. it's a freeze response.
