The story

Hello, I'm Patience

Hi there. My name is Patience. I am that calm and quiet feeling you get when you have to wait for something you really, really want. Sometimes waiting is hard, but I am here to help you.

You might need me when you're waiting for your turn on the big, curly slide at the park. Or when you are waiting for a tiny seed you planted to grow into a beautiful flower. I am also there when you have to wait for your birthday party to finally arrive.

When you use me, you can take a deep breath and find something fun to do while you wait, like singing a song or counting the clouds. It makes the waiting time feel shorter and happier. I help you stay calm instead of feeling wiggly and upset.

I am a special kind of helper that lives inside you. Using me helps you share with friends and makes getting the thing you waited for feel extra special. I continue to help people every day by making waiting easier and teaching everyone that good things come to those who wait.
