Being bored 'fires children's imaginations'
Research suggests the best answer might be: "Good."
A survey of 293 parents in the UK suggests that a majority - 70% - feel it is important for school holiday time to be filled with planned activities, and 45% worry that they do not do enough.
But research commissioned by the Lego Learning Institute suggests that it is good for children to be "bored" - because they have to start using their own imaginations.
