Demonstating patience, tolerance and respectfulness is one of the most important lessons that you can teach your child. Our patience is constantly being tested when we have to stand in line at the grocery store or at the bank, wait in heavy traffic, at a doctors office or simply for the ketchup to slide out. Just as we expect to be treated with respect and tolerance so should we treat others in the same way. We are so busy in our daily lives and having to tolerate inconveniences sometimes pushes us beyond our limit. If you allow yourself to lose control and blow your top your child will see this as the natural way to handle a situation and imitate your behavior in other situations that might come up. Remember that what you do and say is seen and heard by your greatest admirer. Choose your words and actions with care because what you teach your child he/she will teach his children. By showing patience, tolerance and respectfulness to everyone around you, you are helping make the world a better place for you, your child and future generations to come.
