Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.71 – Coaching Kids Through Waiting and Delays: Patience is one of the hardest skills for children to master. Coaching them through waiting teaches emotional regulation and self-control. Use countdowns or time markers so waiting feels structured, not endless. Provide calm distractions like stories, songs, or breathing exercises. Praise them for waiting successfully to reinforce progress. Parents can model waiting calmly themselves to demonstrate the value of composure. Explain that waiting often leads to better outcomes, teaching delayed gratification. Use small daily moments—lines, traffic, or meals—as practice. Over time, patience becomes natural instead of forced. Children who master waiting develop focus, empathy, and resilience in every part of life.
