Send us a text We explore the importance of planting patience as a character trait in our children through both teaching and modeling this crucial skill. As mentors to our children, we must recognize they learn more from watching our behavior than from our verbal corrections, making our own patience practice essential for their development. • Children observe and mimic our behaviors, including impatience and hasty decision-making • Patience is the capacity to accept delays without becoming annoyed or anxious • The "microwave mentality" often leads to poor decisions and regret • Practice listing wants/needs with timeframes to identify patience challenges • Consider whether immediate desires (like relationships or job changes) are truly beneficial • Learning to accept "blocks" as blessings can prevent repeated mistakes • Taking 24 hours before making important decisions helps cultivate patience • Parents must actively teach life skills, not just correct behaviors Tell another single mom about this podcast to help spread the message of intentional parenting and mentoring. https://singlemomsunitedpodcast.com/ As Mom's we are more than nurturers we are Mentors to our children.
