Statistics show that kids get anxiety because of boredom, they think that they should be doing something. Also being board gets kids into more trouble or get the temptation of getting into trouble. The kids mostly get bored in school because they can't have their phones on most of the time.
Some People think that boredom is a good thing and I can somewhat relate to that
because when someone is board they can collect their thoughts. Also you pay more attention because you are looking for something to do.
The thesis of this article is mainly that they are blaming the kids for being board. I agree half and have because kids need the fresh air. Also what if it's in the winter or they live in a bad area and they can't go outside so they play video games inside.
All in all kids just want something fun to do and active to do and to make them think. I don't like being board and neither do you.
