[quote=Anonymous]You shouldn’t be holding yourself responsible for planning extra activities and fun for a child this age. It sounds like she is already doing outside activities and camp. Being bored and entertaining yourself sometimes is part of life. Part of your daughter’s issue may be that she doesn’t have to entertain herself because you are doing it for her or at least the expectation is there. I think it sounds good that she has crafting and art supplies and access to books. If she complains that she is bored, tell her that she has these resources and to make use of them. Remind her also that she will have people time at camp and other opportunities as well as returning to school in a few months. She will be happier long term if she builds skills to be happy solo some of the time now. [/quote]
