[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are supposed to be bored. Ideas and insight come from boredom. Why is this a problem?[/quote] Says someone whose child is nothing like OP’s. Children benefit from ‘boredom’ when they also have the freedom to do something about it — build fairy houses in the back yard, make an obstacle course on the kitchen table for the Lego guy, etc. Boredom sitting in a desk, prohibited from going anywhere else and with nothing to play and experiment with, does not inspire creativity. It’s just painful.[/quote]
