Synopsis

"Are we there yet?", "How much longer?".
You've probably heard it countless times. Kids are impatient, but it's our job to teach them that waiting is worth it.
Waiting is not easy, especially for children.
Little Dan is an eight-year-old boy who likes to do many things besides waiting. When he finds out that he has to wait a whole week until he visits his grandparents, Dan becomes upset and very impatient. But through interacting with his grandparents, little Dan will learn that he can do and learn many things while he waits.
He will realize that waiting can produce delicious morsels like grandma's pie or even new life like a chicken hatching from an egg.
"Patience is my superpower" is a children's book about patience.
It will help your little ones:
*to turn the waiting into a time full of fun and productive activities,
*to deal with their impulses and to control their reactions,
*to understand that after waiting, some amazing things can happen,
*to understand that waiting is an integral part of everyday life.
***
You’ll be amazed how many things you can learn while you wait.
***
This book is suitable for all ages and anyone who works with children.
