“School is so boring.” “I don’t have anything to do.” “This car ride takes too long!” “I’m. So. BORED!” Everyone has heard these protests from their kids, and there’s something about their words that pressures us into action, as if they were facing some physical danger. But what exactly is boredom, and why do we feel the need to fix it so urgently? Should we be fixing it at all? What are the reasons kids get bored in the first place? Hear all these questions asked and answered on this stimulating episode of Dear Anxiety.

We share research-based solutions for the greater mental wellness of your family, and we hope you’ll laugh with us along the way.
