[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bored is a bad word in our house. You're not allowed to say it and you're not allowed to be it. Find something interesting to do. Being "bored" means you had an expectation of being entertained and were disappointed in that expectation. If you already know the letters on the silly abc worksheet then fill in the letters and invent a crazy story and draw a picture to go with it. Imagine an adult complaining about being bored. Would you consider them whiny and self-centered to expect the world to entertain them? Yes, and you'd expect them to change their situation or their outlook to find a way to deal with it. We should encourage the same in our children. [/quote] It is not fair to compare a child to an adult though. An adult can change jobs or find their own entertainment. A child has to be at school for the entire day and depending on the teacher, it could be really really boring. [/quote]
