But I want it now! I Can be Patient
“It's my turn!" “Are we there yet?" “I want it now!" You've heard it all before. In
fact, you probably remember a time where you said those exact words. Even
the most seasoned adults know that patience takes hard work and a lot of,
well…patience! Keeping your cool in the face of someone or something that
is frustrating takes skill and practice.
Practicing short periods of waiting at an early age can help build patience.
While it is important to practice patience, parents should be realistic in their
expectations when it comes to young children. Use these tips to handle the
most common complaints for your little tykes:
•Taking turns -It's smart to introduce the idea of waiting and taking turns
now with a simple game of "my turn, your turn," that way your child doesn't
always think they can have a turn without waiting. Matias patiently places each
block where it needs to be
•Nip the grumbling in the bud –Since minutes and hours don't mean much located to build his town.
to kids this age, try to explain exactly what has to happen before your child
can play. Need to finish a load of laundry first? Have dinner on the stove? Try
setting a timer so your child can watch the progress. Remember to keep
your promise and stop when it goes off.
•I can do it! If your toddler insists on putting on his or her own jacket even
though it will take an extra few minutes, let him or her do it. As parents, our
tolerance is tested on a daily basis but its best to lay the groundwork and be
a good example when it comes to teaching patience.
In the month of March Kiddie Academy teaches patience as part of our
character education program. For more information, visit
