Helping children DEVELOP PATIENCE

PW invited parents of C P Goenka Group Schools, Maharashtra to share their insights on how they help their children develop the virtue of patience

- 

"I guide my son Shlok (class V to reflect on situations that trigger impatience and teach him the value of taking a step back before reacting. Teaching children to set realistic expectations fosters a sense of understanding that all wants and needs are not met instantly. Delaying dessert until after dinner or saving up money for a gift are practices that build resilience against instant gratification. Above all, as parents, we must demonstrate patience through our own actions, showcasing the positive outcomes that emerge from composed behaviour" 

- Tanushree Ameya Pradhan, energy healer and interspecies communicator
