God is ... patient and slow to anger. Jonah 4:2 This month in Chapel we will be learning about patience. Patience is being calm and tolerant when unexpected things happen. It means showing acceptance when you or others make mistakes. Patience is doing something now that may develop later, like planting a seed and waiting for it to grow. There are several ways to help your child develop patience. Board games help preschoolers learn to wait their turn. Baking and planting are also activities that help teach patience. Using a timer can help children visualize the wait. It's important for parents to model patience by being aware of the words and body language we use when we have to wait for something. Parents should keep expectations reasonable, depending on the age of their child. Parent/Child Activities
