“Mummaaa.. I’m bored.. I’ve nothing to do.. Do you want to play cards?”
“Daddddyyyy.. Shall we go out and play something? Or we can also play cards!”
Helping kids fight boredom is undeniably the toughest job for parents. And, in the new normal, with no school and outdoor games, the toughness level of this job has just scaled up.
