It is every parents worst nightmare. A summer full of the kids whining “I’m Bored”. Be proactive and start winning the battle before it begins. How?
Make a giant list and tape it up somewhere in your house. On this list put all kinds of ideas that your child can do if they have nothing also to do. That way the next time they are whining they are bored you can just point them towards the list.
I have even included some ideas on what you can put on this list to help you get started.
- Read a book
- Do a puzzle
- Clean your room
- Colour
- Build a fort
- Go play in the yard
- Run a lemonade stand
- Have a water fight
- Go for a walk
- Have a nap 😉
Of course this is to just get your started. Add your own and even ask the kids for help. Be extra nice and leave a comment with some of your own ideas to help the rest of us out.
