How Many Times Have You Heard, "I'm Bored"?


"I'm Bored!"

As a busy, frazzled parent that is the LAST thing you want to hear from your kids! It is summer time, the kids are supposed to be outside enjoying the sunshine and having fun with friends! In a perfect world, this would totally be true. Unfortunately, this is not always that case. Some neighborhoods just don't allow the freedom other do to let the kids run around and just be kids.

Sometimes kids have to go to a daycare provider and when the come home they are suddenly confronted with freedom, but no clear idea of what they should do.

The limitations can go on and on, but so can the "I'm bored!" statements.

What is a busy parent supposed to do?

To lighten your burden, take some time to sit down with your kids and make a list of parent approved things they can do WITHOUT you. Whenever they begin to think, "I'm bored!" they simply go to their list and choose something to do.

I have a guide that you can download that I have posted on my resource page. It is called 10 Parent-Approved Boredom Busters. Hop on over to the Tutoring with Sheryl website and download it.

Tutoring with Sheryl

I am a seasoned educator and reading specialist, empowering struggling readers from Kindergarten to Sixth Grade through evidence-based methods rooted in the Science of Reading.

I have also made several guest appearances and led educational summits including IMPACT 6 and SOAR 1 and 2.
