Candy Cane Cookies have arrived, or have they gone missing? We are going to talk about patience, but you will have to wait for it! Doctor Wait, Santa's family Doctor drops in with some great advice for us at this busy time of the year! Patience is a skill. And like all skills, patience can be learned. Just like learning to walk, ride a bike or playing a piano We can learn patience, and get better at being patient as we work on it The best way to learn patience is to practice patience Patience is not simply the ability to wait. It’s how we behave while we’re waiting. Here are 4 things to consider about patience - talk about these things with your family to see how you can add these to your day ONE - When learning patience, start small just like learning anything, you will not be great at something if you never try little babies are not very patient - when they want something, they want it right now! we have to learn patience - that is a lot of work TWO - We have to learn how to wait for what we want We need to take turns, allow someone to go first, put someone else ahead of us THREE - realize that being patient is hard work We wait for a bus, wait for dinner, wait for our friend to catch up, we do a lot of waiting FOUR - learning patience is not just for adults when we start learning and practicing patience as a child, we will use what we learn as an adult it is no fun to be asked to wait for our turn, but if we can learn how to wait, we will see it pay off in the future So I told you to wait to find out what patience was, didn't I... do you know, that waiting to hear what patience is, that waiting to the end to find out what it is was actually being patient? Patience is simply being calm, realizing that there are other people involved and allowing others time and space at this busy time of year there is very little patience, honking car horns, pushing and shoving, angry responses to people in our way, or doing things that make our day worse - those are the people that need patience Remember you have to learn it patience is not free!
