Yes. Our son(s) are always eager to find something to do... and the older one (7) is especially good at finding things that are irritating or problematic. YDS is better at finding things to do that are more productive and parentally approved (building something, playing with his cars, etc.).

We try to keep books on hand, which is handy for times when he is at "loose ends." Sometimes we have had to give up and send him to the basement when he starts tormenting his brother. That sounds harsh, but it is full of toys and craft supplies and puzzles, lots to do once he gets over the complaints about being there.
