In this work one has sought to understand what would be the possible relations between consumption and the existence of child boredom. Boredom is related to the absence of meaning, the lack of life projects. Even children are feeling this way. It has become much easier to come across children with signs of apathy, lack of interest and with little involvement in activities that are typical of childhood, like playing. For this it was verified what makes up the extracurricular routine of children coming from families with high purchase power. The agendas of these children are occupied by numerous activities that aim at a promising future, the electronic devices are more accessible while the adults are increasingly controlling and overprotective. In this scenario, boredom imposes itself.
