Toddlers learn skills for being patient that make waiting easier for
everyone.
Toddlers live in the moment. When they want something, they want it now.
But learning self-control and delayed gratification will set up young
children for success in school and in social settings. Practicing
patience is the key. With her trademark mix of empathy and
encouragement, author Elizabeth Verdick acknowledges that waiting can be
frustrating and offers toddlers simple ideas to make waiting easier.
Little ones can use waiting time to watch the world around them, listen
to music, tell stories, sing songs, whisper, play games, build with
Legos, draw pictures, move or stretch, and more. Children learn, "I can
wait a while. I can do it with a smile."
In this twelfth addition to the best-selling Best Behavior board book
series, Marieka Heinlen's vivid illustrations of young children
interacting with their caregivers and families bring warmth and fun to
every spread. The book closes with tips to help parents and care
providers foster patience in young children.
