Chalk Talk: When a Kid Says "I'm Bored"
Though there is no empirical evidence to back this up, children probably say the words “bored,” “boredom,” and “boring” more in the summer than they do during any other season. Seeing as children wait all year for the summer, it seems odd that they would spend so much time complaining about how boring it is. Upon hearing the “b-word” come out of a child’s mouth for the first time in the summer, many parents react by quickly thinking of an activity to do. That is the wrong approach. Often, children who complain of boredom aren’t really bored. Rather, they are either looking for attention or so over-stimulated that they think the word “bored” means not having something to do for the next 30 seconds. As such, parents should let children be bored. If a child is really bored for long enough he or she will try to find a way out the boredom, which gives him or her the opportunity to be creative and entertain him- or herself.
