Don't try to 'fix' the child's boredom - rather, let the child find his or her inner resources.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think it's necessary to let kids get bored once in a while - that's how they learn to be creative.
I've never been someone who's very prone to boredom. I don't know, boredom seems like something you should grow out of at about 15 or 16. There's so much that needs to be done.
I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.
I always told my children when they whined... Only the boring are bored.
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.
To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.
Teach a child to play solitaire, and she'll be able to entertain herself when there's no one around. Teach her tennis, and she'll know what to do when she's on a court. But raise her to feel comfortable in nature, and the whole planet is her home.
I always knew that I was kind of bored; the regular life of a child didn't fit me.
When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
Boredom is a concept that I don't understand.
