JAKARTA - Your child likes to be restless, fussy, and impatient about things? Naturally, Mother. According to Pete Stavinoha, Ph.D., a child psychologist at Children's Medical Center in Dallas as reported by Parents, Friday, November 11, a toddler does not have the ability to be patient. That's why while waiting for them they will feel restless, become angry, even angry. For them to wait a while, like something that feels a long time.

Reporting from Parenting First Cry, these are 5 ways to teach children to be patient. No need to rush to expect children to understand immediately. The most important thing is that you start to introduce the meaning of being patient with him slowly.

Children learn a lot from their parents. For that, before demanding children to be patient, it would be nice for parents to give an example in advance of patient behavior so that children can imitate them. Before acting in a hurry, remember again that there are children who need to be guided and follow every attitude of your behavior. So, it's important for you to practice patience so that your children will have an example to be imitated in terms of patience.

To teach your child to be patient, you can start from a small opportunity every day. For example, when he additions to asking for something, don't immediately grant his wish. Make him wait a minute or two. Slowly the child will understand the concept of waiting and when he understands more, you can increase his waiting time to be longer.

For children, having patience is a form of learning how to control their emotions and actions, even when they are anxious, excited, or tired. Ask children to be able to control themselves, before you fulfill their demands. Meeting their demands when they are able to control themselves will instill that acting impatient is not a way to get what they want.

When the child complains that he prefers to play or do something other than wait, make sure to stay calm and encourage him to talk about his feelings. Take him seriously and try to provide a solution.

The reason why our culture is getting more and more impatient is because of consumptive habits. When the child is getting bigger, train him not to be consumptive. If he wants to buy something, Mother doesn't need to lend money. Let him be patient to collect money until what he wants to buy. This will teach them to be patient to get what they want.
