From a very young age, children are asked to exercise patience in group settings. How well they demonstrate patience among their peers depends largely on whether they’re asked to practice patience at home. While some children (and adults!) are more patient by nature, patience is a virtue that can be taught in simple ways at home. Here are some ways how. Teach delays. Instead of rushing to your child at his first peep—whether he’s crying out for your attention from his bedroom or the bathroom— know that, if his safety isn’t at risk, it’s OK to wait a little bit. You may even find that he learns life skills more quickly, from soothing himself to sleep to doing his business in the bathroom solo, by having him wait. Implement a “no interruptions” rule. If you can’t remember the last time you finished a conversation with another adult, it’s probably time to implement this rule at home. It lets your child know that she is not the only person in the world who requires your attention, and that it’s just plain rude to interrupt mom or dad. Perform activities that demonstrate patience. Children often learn intangible concepts like patience best through tangible examples. One idea: if you’re anticipating a special day, let your child mark off the days of the month on a calendar in countdown fashion. — Kiddie Academy of Bothell: www.kiddieacademy. com/bothell
