Walker, Ph.D., a teacher and author of The Survival Guide for Parents of Gifted Kids.She tells the story of one of her kindergartners who always complained that she was bored.Frustrated, Walker finally replied, "I don't understand.There's all this stuff to do.What does ‘bored' mean to you?"

The child responded, "It means having to do what you want me to do rather than what I want to do."

Walker explains that children need to understand that life isn't always fun, that everyone gets bored occasionally - or dislikes the task at hand - and we all have to do things that we'd rather not.
