JAKARTA - Everyone certainly has their own characters, including children. They generally have unique unpredictable characters, even parents are often confused by their wishes.

For example, mood changes over time. Things like this are also difficult to control when you have patience. In fact, patience in children can be trained from an early age.

By practicing patience from a young age, it is hoped that later children can grow into individuals who will not impose their will or something they want. So, how?

"The following VOI has summarized six activities to train children's patience in a good way," reported Parenting First Cry, Wednesday, November 16.

Wrap an object with a gift paper or multi-layered paper and give the gift to the child. Get them to open the gift slowly. This activity will teach them patience in a fun way.

Putting children to make cakes can also teach them patience. Starting from measuring ingredients, roasting cakes, to waiting for cold cakes to eat is certainly not an easy matter for the little one. If they are able to wait until the cake can be eaten, it means that the little one's patience begins to be trained slowly.

Even after being planted, seeds need time to grow into beautiful plants. If your little one is patient, they will reap their hard work by harvesting fruit or picking flowers in due course.

Extortion is an activity that really requires a lot of patience because you and your child need to wait until the fish eat bait. If you just want to teach your child to be patient without injuring the fish, then avoid using hooks and release fish after being caught.

Silent is gold and the most important thing in patience. You can arrange time and ask children to be quiet and calm as long as they can. The longest-lasting thing is to win. Don't forget to give the prize in return.

Keeping children's patience can also be done by inviting them to play puzzles. Choose a medium or large puzzle to test their patience. Work hard before seeing the results will teach children a lot of patience.

In addition, the best way to understand the most effective thing to teach children to be patient is to recognize what triggers their patience.
