Novak Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slam titles, but in his latest appearance on Jay Shetty's podcast, the conversation wasn't about backhands or Grand Slam strategy, it was about raising his two children, Stefan, 10, and Tara, 7, in a world where boredom has become almost a forbidden state.
Djokovic recounted a moment that many parents will instantly recognise. After a packed morning of ping pong, kayaking, and soccer, his son turned to him and said the four words every parent dreads: "I'm bored, what now?"
Most parents, Djokovic admitted, would have reflexively handed over a phone, suggested a book, or scrambled to plan the next activity. He did the opposite. He sat his son down for what he called a conversation most parents avoid entirely.
