[quote=Anonymous]I think context is important. As a pre-school teacher, when a pre-K kid who can choose from a room full of toys and art materials mopes around and says s/he's bored that usually signals to me that he/she is having a hard time initiating play or joining in social groups. The saying that people who are bored are boring people sometimes seems true when people are not taking advantage of resources available to them. In grade school, when your choices and materials are usually quite restricted, then the saying doesn't necessarily apply. And, yes, often these kids first hear the label "bored" from their parents who are seeking an explanation.[/quote]
