I want to list all the reasons that it's great for your kids to be bored
1. It helps creativity. When left alone kids do all kinds of things we never would have thought to teach them
2. Independence-Kids learn to rely on themselves for entertainment, care and problem solving
3. Frees up your time and energy so your home functions better
Let's hear some more reasons why it's great to allow kids to be bored!

So they can launch into a full-on kvetching attack. Over time, the (painful) exposure will strengthen your stamina so that eventually no matter how terrible the noise level gets you'll still be able to go about your regular business without getting shattered nerves.
How's that?

So happy you’re telling me this bec my kids have been left to fend for themselves while I can barely get out of bed. Now I see it’s good for them not to have me entertaining them all the time

It's good to be bored for a bit of the day. But being bored all day every day for days on end, can lead to all sorts of problems. Everyone needs structure.

My kids forgot how to entertain themselves, maybe cuz there isn't a divide between school and home. They always played imaginative games for hours and now they play "let's get on everyone's nerves" if they don't have anything lined up to do.
And asking to watch all day🤨🖥

Definitely agree that being bored all day every day for days on end isn't good. Generally kids aren't bored all day, every day for days on end. They figure out how to entertain themselves (not that we always approve of how they go about it) I don't agree that EVERYONE needs structure, but generally kids do better when they get some kind of connection with us first. They launch better that way

My kids are not allowed to be “bored” in my house. If you’re “bored” I’ll find chores for you to do. Lots and lots of chores.
