Should Children Be Allowed to Get Bored?

Children need time to stand and stare. They should be allowed to get bored to that they can develop their ability to be creative.

Children are expected by their parents to be reading a textbook all the time. However, research shows that it may hamper the development of their imagination, while boredom can give them opportunities to develop creativity.

Boredom is often linked with loneliness, but a writer named Meera Syal said boredom had helped here in developing her mind. She told researchers about her childhood. Having few things todo, Syal often talked with her neighbors. She also tried to do things like learning to bake cakes. “But importantly, I Thought and wrote a lot, because I was bored,” Syal said. She kept a diary, filling here time with short stories and poems she made up.

Grayson Perry, an artist, grew up in a family with little money. He enjoyed himself by making up stories, drawing pictures for his stories and reading many books in the library. Bored but free, he spent hours looking out of the window, watching the changing clouds and seasons. Perry filled up his free time with what he liked. He became creative, because he could think freely.

Dr. Belton is an expert on the effects of emotions on learning. “Boredom could be an uncomfortable feeling,” she said. “But some young people cannot deal with that boredom creatively. So sometimes they may break a classroom window, or drive a car out for a mad race.”

Usually, when children have nothing to do, they would turn on the TV, the computer, or the phone. Their time on these things has increased, yet they need to have time to think about their experiences through play or just watching the world around them.

It is this kind of thinking that can inspire the imagination. On the other hand, the TV or phone may cut short the thinking process. That can be harmful to the development of creativity. “For developing the ability to be creative,” Dr. Belton advised, “perhaps we need to stand and stare, and stay off-line from time to time.”

  They are rarely out of the spotlight themselves,and they make their money from getting 1       to stare at the big screen.

  "My kids,I really don't like them to watch 4        television , ” Cruise,40 ，said during a visit to Berlin to promote the film Minority(《少数派报告》) earlier this month. " We're focusing on reading."

  Tom Cruise,who has major boxoffice appeal (票房号召力) ，has starred in many hit movies such as Rain Man(《雨人》) and Mission：Impossible(《谍中谍》) .

  He has two adopted (收养的) children with 5        Australian exwife Nicole Kidman.

  As a father,he allows them 6        about three and a half hours of television every week but only if his children 7        school.

  "I can actually see the difference when they watch too much television. 8       affects their education and their reading as well as their behavior," he said.

  Cruise and Kidman divorced last year 9       10 years of marriage. He and Kidman agreed to raise their children inAustralia. "Americawas in a position 10        people were so irresponsible that human life holds so little value to them," he said.

  "My kids are allowed to watch TV for one hour a day―if their homework 13       ”， he said. "They can't come home from school and watch TV."

  He insists that his fi ve children do their homework and their chores (杂务) first,and if they have time 14        over,watch TV for an hour.

  Spielberg,whose films Saving Private Kycm (《拯救大兵瑞恩》) and Schindler,s 《辛德勒名单》) talk about the tragic events of World War H,said he also keeps his children away from the news on television.

  He said the reason is that one could 15        tell what it was going to be about. And he never knew if it would be suitable for children to watch.
