Parents are being encouraged to let their children find their own solutions to school holiday boredom this summer.

Long hot days can lead to regular complaints of “I’m bored” from kids, but Griffin Longley, chief executive of Nature Play WA, said parents must avoid rushing to the rescue.

“If they are saying they are bored, we can put them in front of a video, we can give them a tablet; there are all sorts boredom fillers,” Mr Longley told 720 ABC Perth.
