Keeping kids busy and occupied can be challenging, especially when their interests wane after just a few minutes, leading to the common refrain, “I’m booooorrrrreed!” What they’re really saying is they don’t yet know how to be independently engaged. According to Dr. Stephanie Lee, director of the ADHD and Behavior Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute, experiencing boredom isn’t such a bad thing. In fact, it helps children learn to manage their frustrations, regulate their emotions and develop effective planning strategies. Plus, it fosters creativity, self-esteem and original thinking, especially when parents empower their children to discover solutions for themselves. “Instead of being reactive, it’s better to be proactive with kids about their options.”

 

Our collection of toys will help children find their own fun. Discover our array of toys that will help dispel boredom and get kids moving, creating, imagining, discovering, learning and dreaming.
