Wait For It, Work For It
One important skill set we should learn and master in order to navigate life successfully, is the ability to “wait for it” and “work for it.” Even if you are a child, a parent, or a teacher, there are many opportunities to learn and strengthen this skill. This episode discusses some of those opportunities from each perspective and suggests some ways to approach this learning task.
Teaching and Practicing Resources
I mentioned the fun my students had using small animal erasers by Iwako. This is an associate link, which means that if you click on it to purchase this item, you might provide the podcast and blog with a small benefit at no additional cost to you. If you click on the picture, you will be directed to a picture that shows the animal erasers in greater detail. My students love to work for these little animal erasers as a reward!
