I think there's a difference between boredom from not being able to focus on something and boredom from not having new or engaging tasks for kids to get their hands on. I say this because DD has always had the propensity to be bored even as an infant. But give her a new toy, game or website and she'll play forever. Before I started looking into all this GT research, I wondered if DD was ADHD -- she sure bounced around the room a lot. Yet her ability to focus on new tasks can be quite impressive. I don't think DD has an ability or inability to handle boredom that makes her bounce off the walls -- she just needs something to stimulate her brain or senses to keep her occupied.
