  • The trick is to help support children generate their own ideas (rather than suggesting ideas to them).

How can parents help kids learn to manage boredom?

  • There’s a lot parents can do to prepare for boredom and support their child learning to manage their own boredom.
  • Talk to your child about what they enjoy doing, their interests and their passions.
  • Develop a menu of activities with your child that they can refer to when they’re bored.
  • Let your child know the plan for the day and the length of time they’re expected to do the activities on their menu.
  • A series of pictures to illustrate the day’s schedule might help.
  • Some children might need help to get started in an activity.
  • Try not to do everything yourself, but rather use questions to help them to problem solve.
  • When your child gets started on an appropriate activity themselves, offer praise and attention.
  • Do this before they have lost interest, but over time, aim to gradually extend the amount of time before commenting.
  • While it is important for children to learn how to manage boredom, children also need to feel valued and know their parents want to spend time with them.
