What is Worth the Wait: learning to be more patient about?

Monkey finds waiting very difficult. Whether she is eager for a turn, a treat or something exciting to happen, her impatience often leads to trouble. With gentle guidance, Monkey begins to understand why waiting can be hard and discovers simple ways to stay calm, think about others and make better choices. This reassuring story helps young children explore impatience and learn that good things are sometimes worth waiting for. Discussion activities encourage children to talk about their own feelings and behaviour.
