    Yes! This was something I remember being sad when I was young...

    Boring kids ARE bored because they haven't been taught/allowed/or shown how to do what Cat Herder said.....

    They haven't been taught/allowed/shown how to use their imagination and creativity and explore their world and everything going on in it!

    Now he knows bored is no fun and he will get on with his imagination, experimentation. exploration and creative play.

    That is the point of education, you know. To build character and to learn HOW to discover the world for yourself; not how to parrot what other people have figured out. THAT would truly be boring. "

      Love it!!

        This all fits my DCB to a T!! Constantly wants to be entertained. He will not build with blocks and he is always asking me to watch TV or wants an iPad. When I tell him I don't have an iPad and we are not going to watch tv all day...the tears start flowing. I think it's time for a meeting with the parents.
