The worst thing you could say to your mother growing up was “I’m bored.” Heaven forbid you told her that in the middle of summer, that’s a one-way ticket to an afternoon full of chores.
A parent finding something to keep their kids entertained is a long-standing struggle, which is why the results of this study aren’t surprising.
A study commissioned by Elmer’s and conducted by OnePoll found that the average American kid gets bored after only 33 minutes! Honestly, that number seems a bit high.
Further, according to SWNS Digital the study also found that 40% of parents "always" or "often" struggle keeping their kids entertained, and 35% of parents say they can feel "stressed" finding new ideas for their kids.
No wonder kids’ screen time is up to 13 hours per week, which the study also found. Have to keep those kids entertained somehow!
