I solved that problem. “You are bored? Let me show you how to clean a bathroom.” Child learned to clean a bathroom and I never heard the words "I am bored again. Ever. That was about 35 years ago. Child became very much a self-starter, which has served her well in her lifetime.
I don’t remember ever being bored as a child. During the summer there was always plenty to do, and if there wasn’t anything I wanted to do I was perfectly happy to just do nothing!

Let them watch A Quiet Place. That might convince them to hunker down and keep their mouths shut.

They wouldn’t be bored if they’d each get at least one friend…

Times sure have change, that was always at the top of the list of things not to say to your parents.
