Boredom is not bad, so if you do not feel the need to find something for them to do, that is fine!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another way of handling boredom is to offer your preschooler \u201cjobs\u201d to do.\u00a0 It may or may not be helpful to you right away because jobs take guidance, time to master, and always need to be inspected; however, taking the time to teach him to do things while he is young will be extremely helpful in the future.\u00a0 Some suggestions would be to collect all the household towels and take them to the laundry room, or helping a younger sibling put toys away.\u00a0 Toddlers are great at picking things off the floor (like crumbs in the kitchen) and can be taught to use a handheld brush and dustpan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One idea is to create a \u201cBored Jar\u201d with many different activities suggested inside.\u00a0 The child can draw a piece of paper and do that activity when he claims to be bored.\u00a0 Maybe it is playing with chalk, blowing bubbles, doing puzzles, watching a video that encourages exercise or movement, etc.\u00a0 It could also be an odd job around the house.\u00a0 You know your child best, so use your imagination!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, there are many ways you can go about trying to bust boredom, but sometimes just a few minutes with you is all your child really needs!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog, please take a look at our school\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/landstar\/blog\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">blog page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
