“Momma, I’m bored.” Sometimes When I’m Bored addresses a common complaint from children: boredom and loneliness. Along with the main character, children learn how to recognise boredom and see the opportunities it might present. “Well, what a wonderful thing to be! When you're bored, something special is waiting for you.”

Helping young children learn how to redirect feelings of boredom deepens problem-solving skills and builds the ability to shift negative thoughts to more positive ones. Using gentle and straightforward language, Sometimes When I’m Bored describes a child’s experience with boredom and loneliness and the many fun ways to relieve the feeling of boredom.

A special section for adults offers more information on how boredom can be spotted in children of varying ages—including infants—and discusses how to help children relieve feelings of boredom. Especially useful for counsellors, social workers, teachers, parents, and any other adults caring for children who experience boredom and loneliness.

“Now when I’m bored, I know something special is waiting for me. I just have to find it.”

"What a wonderful book for children and adults alike. Beautifully illustrated and thoroughly researched, Sometimes When I’m Bored is both a fun and invaluable resource."
- James Danckert, professor of psychology at University of Waterloo and author of Out of My Skull: The Psychology of Boredom
