Patience

 
 
Patience - calm endurance of provocation;
 forbearance;
quiet and self-possessed waiting. 
 
 
"Patience may be defined for a toddlervas waiting with no talking, complaining or movement.
 
This changes the abstract concept of patience into concrete, achievable behaviours.
 
As with all training, you will instruct, supervise and demonstrate this virtue over many, many days.
 
Your voice needs to be happy and calm and you need to shower yuor child with praise."
