Patience is not a gift. It is a decision.

Parenting can take a whole lot of patience however this virtue does not come natural to most of us. So if it is something you feel you lack, give yourself a break and know that is is pretty normal but also know that it is something you can choose to change.

With practice, patience can become a more natural response to the mishaps and frustrations in family life. It is something that can be decided upon, practiced and grown into.
