Boredom is good for children, that's what was published by a Visiting Fellow in the University of East Anglia, Teresa Belton. Parents nowadays are quick to provide entertainment and education to their young children in the form of screen time through devices such as televisions, smartphones, and tablets.

However, when there are no quick solutions, they are encouraged to use their own thinking and creative skills to find ways to entertain themselves.
