Use Your Patience: Life Principle of Patience.

Use Your Patience is a children's book with full-page color illustrations. In this story, little Davey has no interest in listening to admonitions to be patient, to wait patiently, or to show patience. Others around him find his behavior selfish and annoying; he even goes to a special event wearing some of his clothing backwards because he won’t tolerate his mother’s helping him get dressed. Surprisingly, it is a flock of turkeys that teaches Davey the benefit of patient conduct.
Nurturing the life principle of patience allows students to deal calmly with circumstances which don’t go as smoothly or as quickly as they wish. It helps them to behave with consideration and courtesy through displeasing experiences with others, and it is especially valuable in creating a frame of mind which recognizes that ongoing effort may be required to achieve a goal. Students, as well as parents and teachers, will do well to “use their patience.”
The book includes supplement pages for use by teachers and parents featuring quotations, enriched vocabulary from the text of the story, subject/content area integration points, critical thinking questions, and writing/storytelling prompts.
