Solutions to the “I’m Bored” Problem
Posted on | August 25, 2009 | By Administrator | 3 Comments
The period between camp and school highlights the perennial problem our children’s boredom. For some the normal boredom fillers such as TV, Movies, Internet surfing, Video Games are not available, further increasing the problem.
What solutions have people come up with to try and alleviate the problem?
Did we have the same problem when we were young or has the availability of so much “excitement” put our kids in the state of boredom when they are not being highly stimulated?
