When Kids Complain There Is Nothing to Do
It’s impossible to count how many times we hear kids complain that “I’m boooooored!” or “There’s nothing to do!” It becomes even more grating when expressed in a whiny, shrill voice after a day out or offering multiple suggestions. Sometimes it’s beneficial to let your children get bored and figure out how to entertain themselves. It’s a great way for them to explore new interests when they have nothing but time on their hands. However, these ideas may offer some relief the next time you need things to do when there’s nothing to do.
