Summary

Our children's impatience and low tolerance for frustration can… well, test our patience! In this week's episode, Janet responds to a question from a listener about how to teach a toddler to be more patient. Janet considers what patience really means to a child, how it develops, and how our expectations as parents and caregivers may get in the way. Her recommendations (as is often the case) may be surprising and counterintuitive. Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode.

Before I begin, a word from our sponsor for this episode Better Help. There's no

0:32.7

words feeling than being stuck in a problem and grinding on it all day. Sometimes for

weeks or months, you lose concentration, sleep, peace of mind, it can color our whole world

in this very negative way and it certainly affects our family and friends.

1:08.5
