Patience is a bit of an accomplishment in life. It is through small activities of daily life that you can try to integrate this concept into your child's life.
Games with chopsticks
No need to wait to eat sushi to develop patience. The chopsticks are an evolutionary learning, it is learned with two hands for the little ones and with one hand for the older ones. You can mine the vein with different items. Personally to start, I really like the texture of the pompom, a little soft in the center with the outside that does not slip. You can also do it with dry pasta, small blocks, small rubber bands or whatever comes to hand. If like me you don't have chopsticks at home, use pencils or brushes upside down!
Do a carrot leaf race
Are you cutting carrots for dinner tonight? Take the end of two carrots and drop them in the water… With your child, you can create a carrot race chart to see which foliage grows the fastest. Leave a ruler nearby so that the childcan take measurements and take notes. Watch what happens over time with your child. You will need to add just enough water so that the bottom of the carrot soaks in it. Take photos over time, you can show your child the result of his attendance. May the best carrot win!
Dissolve candies in water to paint
So here we are talking about an almost scientific process that shows the child that the coloring of a candy dissolves in water. Bring it to the child and ask, “What do you think will happen if we put a candy in the water? » Take different bowls, put some water in them and put one or more Smarties-type candies in them (I recommend two packets). Wait, then in a few minutes they will turn all white, remove them before they crack and take out the brushes. You will be able to create a watercolor type work while subtly talking about the experience you have just had with your child!
Preparing a garden
Summer is not upon us yet, but the time to start sprouts is approaching pretty quickly, him. It is when spring arrives that we can begin this long journey. It is interesting to do it with your child, to go and buy the seeds with him, to prepare the seedlings, to fetch the soil, to plant the seedlings in the soil, to be assiduous in the watering and to see the fruits of labor once the harvest arrives. The child is even more proud to eat his lettuce leaf when it is in his bowl thanks to his patience!
Learn to tie your shoes or tie your shoes creatively
We forget how difficult this almost obligatory passage is for a child. However, it is a great pride when he manages to tie his shoes himself, but it is a difficult passage when it is the first time. Take out several pairs of shoes, start over with him, encourage him. Some children will understand the principle very quickly and for others it will be more difficult! Make sure to start learning at a time when his concentration is present. Turn off distractions to get his full attention. Your child is already good? Did you know that there are different ways to attach them on YouTube? This is a great way to add a level of difficulty to an activity that seemed rather mundane!
