  1. Talk with her.

    Make something fun like drawn together.

    Walk around the block.

    See a sunset with her.

    Every answer needs you.

    If you don't pass time with the girl nothing can help you.

    Greetings


  2. Okay, that's a serious problem. Who hates reading? And who says it isn't fun?

    Give her a bunch of random art supplies and paper.

    Hopefully she can make something.

    Out of curiosity, what is she doing on the computer?

  3. board games, card games, video games, crafts, go bowling or swimming if there's someone that can take her.  have her write a letter to someone, family or friend.  read a book, do a puzzle, start a scrapbook or diary...  hope some of this is useful.  i remember when my daughter was that age or so & i remember hearing her say "i'm bored"  A LOT!!!  lol  :)  Good luck!!!

  4. Honestly - let her be bored.  Eventually, she will tire of it and find something to do.

  5. tell her to spend time with her grandparent. Getting to know them better would probably be great. May help her grandmother in the kitchen. I remember loving to help my granny in the kitchen. Play outside. GOOD LUCK

  6. read a book. hates reading what kind of child are you raising?

  7. play a game

  8. When my ten year old gets bored, I give her chores to do.

    She should ask her grandparents to take her out for ice cream, go for a walk, help in the garden, etc.  I am assuming she is there to visit with them, so she should do so.  Perhaps her grandmother can teach her to sew or how to make a dish, perhaps her grandfather can show her how to build a birdhouse...

    They should not have to entertain her constantly, though-she is ten and is capable of doing that herself.

    EDITED TO ADD: Suggest that she ask her grandparents to look through the old family pictures, home movies, etc.  

  9. go outside. there is plenty to do and see and fresh air and exercise is good for her

  10. ask her grandparents to tell her stories about the past kids need enrichment like that nowadays

    help?

  11. So what if she "hates" reading, it will broaden her intelligence, and make HER less boring.  (I find that people who bore easily usually are boring themsevles).  She can pick up a dust rag and furniture polish and help out with the housework.  If you don't want her on the computer all day tell the grandparents to unplug it.  

  12. play a game with her, for my brother video games are good to  

  13. um have her grandparennts take her to a theme park or a carnival r something fun like that
