What is patience?

Patience is when you wait for something good to happen, even if it takes a little time.

Imagine you're waiting for your favorite cookie to come out of the oven. You know it's going to be delicious, but you have to wait a few minutes before you can eat it. That’s patience, you’re happy about what’s coming, and you’re willing to wait for it.

Like Waiting for a Turn on the Slide

Sometimes, patience is like waiting your turn on the slide at the park. You see your friend go down first, and you know it's your turn next. Even though it feels like it takes forever, you're still excited because you know you’ll get to go soon.

Patience Helps You Grow

When you’re patient, you can focus better, and you learn that good things come when you wait, just like how a seed needs time to grow into a big tree. So next time you're waiting for something, remember: patience is like a little helper that makes the best things happen!
