PATIENCE

Growing strong character and stronger families - one patch at a time.

Raising Patient Kids

Patient children develop emotional regulation, delated gratification skills, and the ability to handles life's inevitable waiting period. We recommend choosing a timeline to focus on this attribute (a week, month, etc.) and prioritizing intentional, doable tasks to cultivate Patience together!

HOW TO ENCOURAGE PATIENCE WITH YOUR CHILD

Give advance notice when waiting is required: "We'll leave in 5 minutes."
Model patience yourself. "I'm awaiting patiently in this line, even thought it's taking a while."
Validate them: " I know waiting is hard, and you're doing such a good job staying calm."
Send them off to school by saying, "I am patient!" together
