Patience needs practice. So does listening and following directions. Not all of us have mastered the technique of patience and following directions, but kids in general need extra practice in this area. Here is a fun way to work on these skills at home.
Stack some blocks or cardboard boxes and have your kids stand in font of them. You say 'wait for it...' a couple of times before yelling "GO" and allowing them to knock them over with ninja kicks and power punches. Their anxiousness to knock them down will build up as you play and this makes a perfect setting for learning self-control and listening-skills. If they knock the cubes over before being told "GO" the game is over.
