I learned at a young age to never ever tell my parents I was bored. My children have learned the same lesson.
We also limit our kids to one hour of video games a week, only to be used on Saturday or Sunday. After homework and chores are finished.
They all love to read and the local librarian knows them all by name.
- sliverstorm 16y agoI have always liked my parent's approach to "I'm bored". I wasn't afraid to say I was bored; I just knew that they'd tell me "Being bored is a choice. Find something to do." and refuse to help me. As a result, I have never been bored for more than about 5 minutes at a time for nearly a decade. (well, besides classes. But even then I don't think of myself as bored)
