Patience is indeed the greatest virtue. Being patient is the greatest character that will lead us anywhere. However, patience can be hard to maintain. Teaching patience to a child at a very young age is significant. It will speak a lot to their character, and they will make use of it in the future.
As child care in Riverdale, New York, we believe how a patient child can make a difference. We cannot avoid encountering children with anger and tantrum issues. We always encourage teaching patience to toddlers. However, this learning and character should start and be developed at home.
A child’s mind is like a sponge. It absorbs immediately- what they observe, hears, and learns. Here are some tips for you on how to develop patience in your child. Introduce this virtue by:
- Reading books and singing songs about waiting and patience. This will be fun, learning and enjoying a song while practicing being patient.
- Practice at home timed moments of waiting.
- Acknowledge and praise their acts that show patience.
- Teach them to stay calm and model deep breathes when they want something. Everything they want cannot happen right away.
- Validate and normalize that waiting and being patient always is hard work.
