Exactly 1.5 hours into summer break and the “I’m bored” cries already sounding.

I always told my kids "only boring people get bored" then sent them outside to find something to do.

My kids have learned never to say that because it just means they are about to get a chore to do

We already did chores. 😑

Invest a some time today - save yourself for the rest of the summer.

Well...if it's the 14 yr old, that's easy. If it's the 4 yr old, you're screwed.

Step #1 of every summer break for kids is to have them make an "I'm bored" list

Boredom is actually really healthy for kids. Forces them to get creative .

Very true. (But also hide the matches when your kids proclaim they are bored. 😉 )
