'bored languor' is the definition.
'ennui' can be an answer for 'languor' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'bored' bit.

'some of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ENNUI' can be found hidden inside 'children nuisances'.

'will make' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ennui that I've seen before include "Feeling of listlessness" , "depression" , "Bored listlessness" , "Low interest rate" , "to make one list less when connected" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
