“I’m bored.”
It’s the nails-on-a-chalkboard, at-home answer to the “Are we there yet?” asked—repeatedly—on road trips. However, new data suggests parents may want to get noise-cancelling earphones. Jokes aside, the data indicates kids are experiencing high rates of boredom across age groups.
In one survey of 2,000 parents with kids ages 3 to 12 conducted by OnePoll and commissioned by Elmer’s, participants reported that it took 33 minutes for their kids to get bored.
