Children are only as bored as their parents allow them to be
. If I ever mentioned the 'b' word I was sent to dust my bedroom
Think back: kids have access to c computers etc. but in My Day
we had to read, make our own fun with dolls, train sets, a sheet over the table on wet days to make-believe underneath. She will be OK! Kids don't use their imaginations enough these days. On wet days Mum used to cover the table with newspaper and allow us to paint: anyone remember magic painting books? or do pastry or use plasticine.
Sometimes it is enough that we be still. Reading, sitting, watching the wildlife from the window ;-)
