5 Tips To Improve Patience with Kids from a Daycare Teacher<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Listen to the Kids<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most important things to do when it comes to having patience with children is to really listen to them, especially when they are upset over something.<\/span><\/p>\n

Children want to know that you hear them and are paying attention to their concerns and feelings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Crouch down to the child\u2019s level and ask them what\u2019s bothering them. Actively listen, make eye contact, and repeat back their main theme so they know that you are listening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you really listen to your child, they\u2019ll be more likely to listen to you and communication will continue to grow easier and easier. And with good communication usually comes an extra measure of patience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Try Redirecting Your Child<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every child will need redirecting at some point. Maybe they\u2019re having a tantrum, or maybe you just need to get them away from a very noisy toy. Redirecting can really help in these situations and can extend your patience levels as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try to pull your child\u2019s attention to something quiet and simple with words like \u201cWould you like to color?\u201d or \u201cLet\u2019s build a block tower together!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Redirecting is a effective tool for helping a child ease down from some big emotions and is simple enough that it takes very little of your patience to use it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Set Small Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Patience doesn\u2019t develop overnight, so don\u2019t be hard on yourself as a parent. Set small goals for yourself and your kids and take it slow until each new goal becomes a normal habit in your house.<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on one area of life where you could use some more patience. It could be your morning routine, getting your children to clean up their toys, or getting a good bedtime rhythm going. Choose that one area, and then look for baby steps that can help you use more patience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve solidified that new habit, you can move on to another one. The simpler your goals are, the more likely it is that the goal will stick.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget Your Own Needs, Too<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parents often forget their own needs while taking care of their families. It\u2019s pretty easy to do. But you need to make sure you are taking care of your needs as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your needs are nutrition, sleep, some quiet time, and socialization with other adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some parents feel guilty when they do things for themselves. If you\u2019re one of those parents, just remember that you can only pour into your children\u2019s cups if your pitcher is full. If your pitcher is empty, then it affects your children as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try starting with a small routine like going to the grocery store once a week by yourself and stopping for a coffee or some quiet time somewhere while you are out. Or it could be taking the time in the morning or evening to read a book. It could even be setting up a playdate where you get to interact with other parents while your kids have fun with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just start small and make it a regular part of your week or month. A little \u201cme time\u201d can go a long way in improving your patience with your children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get Some Extra Help<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it is family nearby or a reliable babysitter that can help you out a few times a month, extra help is always beneficial and there\u2019s no shame in asking for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enrolling a child in a great preschool so that you can work alone throughout the week is also a great option for many families. Not only will you have some extra childcare help, but your son or daughter will gain a solid foundation of skills for kindergarten and beyond, develop social skills, make new friends, and gain some independence.<\/span><\/p>\n
