We’re in the thick of summer and the excitement of being done with the school year may have worn off. Now kids are approaching the “boredom” phase of their time off, so what can we do to keep them entertained at home and beyond? We spoke with Kerry Doman, the Founder of Little Guide Detroit to get her tips for a fun summer break.

DETROIT Theyre the words that can drive parents crazy: Im bored. But believe it or not, experts said a little boredom can be good for children. If your children dont have something to do, does that mean they are either fighting, whining or destroying something? But with children home 24/7, boredom isnt necessarily a bad thing. The first two weeks were whining every single day, Jeeyoung, a mother of three, said. Were really doing our children a disservice by doing everything for them and expecting that we should be doing that.Rockwell said parents notice it helps to build independence and sparks creativity.
