Every card, before you buy it

No mystery bundle. This is the actual deck — read it, and if it is not for you, do not buy it.

If you have said any of this out loud, this pack is for you

“I’m bored” — for the fifth time before lunch.

Your job is not to entertain your child. When they say they're bored, you can hand them a bag — or let them figure it out. Either way you're building a problem-solver.

What is on the 42 cards

Every card in the same order: Right now → Say this → Do this next → Later

Seven in-the-moment cards — "I'm bored," they don't want the bag, they want help, they want a screen instead
Bored Bag cards: what the bags are, how a parent puts one together, 30 build ideas, and blank cards for their own
The full 100+ item list, sorted by where to find each thing in your house

Questions

What exactly do I get?Two PDFs. One with all 42 cards at 4.25 × 5.5 inches plus a letter-size fridge poster, and a print-at-home version with four cards per page so you can print and cut the whole deck on a normal printer with no resizing.
Do I need to print it?No. The cards read fine on a phone. Most parents print four or five and put them where the hard moment happens.
What ages is this for?Ages 4–12.
Is this gentle parenting?No. It is matter-of-fact. You will find what to say, why it works, and permission to stop talking.
Is this the same as the membership?No. These cards are written for this pack and yours to keep. The membership is the ongoing thing — the course, the community, the full library and Celia.
What if it is not for me?Email jaci@noproblemparents.com within 30 days and she will refund it. No form, no questions.
