Tip Tuesday:
School is out and summer vacation is in. And so is the potential for summertime boredom. Soon parents might start hearing things like, “I’m so bored, there’s nothing to do.”

Sadly, kids tend to seek external sources of excitement and entertainment to fill their lives. Being alone is viewed as a curse. Quiet moments are to be avoided at all costs.

Unfortunately, many parents believe two things when their kids start complaining about being bored. First, it's horrible that their children are bored. Second, good parents make sure that their children are constantly entertained.

How Not to Address Boredom
Allowing kids to have all the latest video games and shows, giving them a never-ending supply of batteries to power their other toys, and letting them ride in a car from one activity to the next focused on their phones, are all simply band aid approaches to boredom.

These practices will ensure that they never learn how to struggle, make creative discoveries, or delay gratification. Kids need healthy stimulation, not entertainment.

Boredom Training Sessions
In our modern era, with all its wonderful electronic distractions, it's become essential that parents engineer situations that require their kids to delay gratification, use self-control, think creatively and find their own entertainment.

Here are a few simple steps for creating a boredom training session:
Step 1: Provide at least 30 minutes of dullness each day.

Step 2: Provide this time when you are best prepared to deal with a bored child.

Step 3: If your child says, “I'm bored,” hand the problem back in a loving way.
When children learn to delay gratification and solve problems on their own, they gain confidence that lasts far beyond summer. Our audio, Four Steps to Responsibility, gives you practical tools for guiding kids to take greater ownership of their decisions and become more responsible for their lives.

We've started processing SUN Bucks benefits following a delay in federal funding. All eligible children are getting new SUN Bucks cards for summer 2026. Old cards have been deactivated and will show as “lost” or “stolen” in the ebtEDGE app or when you call the number on the back of the card.
*Please don’t request a replacement card.* New cards will be mailed automatically. Card delivery times will vary and might take longer than expected due to card vendor processing times.
If you have a question about the status of your new card, please call the SUN Bucks Contact Center at 833-543-3230. For answers to your frequently asked questions or to sign up for text alerts, go to dshs.wa.gov/sunbucks.
