To Teach "Patience," Begin by Making Your Child Practice Waiting for 5 minutes [YOU are the best MOM] vol.29

To teach your child to be patient, start with a five-minute wait practice

I'm sure parents who are raising children have said the phrase "Be patient!" To their children. Children are selfish and it's very difficult to put up with them. However, if you leave the child who can't stand it as it is, there will be difficult situations such as the relationship with your friends will not be smooth and you will not be able to adapt to the environment even if you go out into society in the future. So how do you raise a tolerable child?

First, let them practice "waiting for 5 minutes"

If you decide "let's be a child who can endure", let's teach by "waiting" first. Now, practice making your child wait a little bit for what he really wants to do. Once you accept what your child wants to do, "it's okay," then clearly state the specific time and date that your child can wait for a while. Then, while repeating this, let's gradually increase the waiting time. For example, if a child says "I want to go to the park", mom should first accept the request "OK". Then, say, "Wait 5 minutes for cleaning," and make them wait for a while. If you can wait 5 minutes, gradually increase the time. The point is not to refuse the word "Now, it's no good", but to reply to accept "It's good". Also, she must keep her promise because she says "good".

Let's wait longer and praise it if you can put up with it

At first, I will practice patience starting from 5 minutes, and gradually increase the time so that I can wait even in units of days, saying "OK, let's go tomorrow". By doing so, you will gradually develop a spirit of patience. After you can put up with it, say "I'm done" and "I'm glad you waited". Having patience gives your child confidence. Children's patience will gradually grow under the trust of each other to keep their promises.
