[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 115542, member: 1545"] When my kids were smaller, I actually kept of list of "bore chores". Yup, that's what I called them. If they DARED to say to me "I'm bored" they knew the result. Washing the windows, baseboards, sweeping the garage, pulling weeds, dusting light fixtures - were great cures for being bored. It was amazing what they would find to do with themselves to avoid the dreaded "bore chore" list. As far as hunger goes - at 13, I would just ignore the hungry comments. Hunger is a great motivator. If she's really hungry, she'll feed herself. Probably what she's really saying is "I'm bored". We so often mistake negative emotions for hunger. [/QUOTE]
