With camps and many other programs for kids canceled this summer, a lot of parents are hearing the dreaded complaint: I’m bored! Children accustomed to busy, activity-filled summer days may find themselves struggling to fill the time — and end up begging parents to come to the rescue. What are we doing today?

The good news is that dealing with boredom, while it isn’t fun, teaches kids valuable skills. This week on childmind.org we offer advice about how to help kids benefit ([link removed]) from unplanned free time brought to us by the pandemic — and help protect some of your own shrinking free time, too.

Plus: Dr. David Anderson and Dr. Stephanie Lee explore the case of Grace, ([link removed]) a Black 15-year-old girl with ADHD and an IEP sent to juvenile detention for not doing her schoolwork during the pandemic. Like many students, Grace struggled with remote learning but instead of receiving help, she was jailed. Children of color who have ADHD are often disciplined, suspended, or even incarcerated instead of being given the support and treatment they need to succeed.
