Waiting calmly for good things.

Patience stories for kids

Seeds, waiting, and something good at the end of it. Handy for kids who ask "Is it time yet?" ten times a day.

Talking about patience at home

  • Ask what the character did while they were waiting.
  • Practise calm waiting with slow 'balloon breaths'.
  • Point out things that take time, like baking or growing plants.

A family activity

Grow cress or beans together and draw how much they grow each day.
