Dr. Chheda – We could learn a lot about patience from our toddlers. Hear me out, okay? You may think your toddler does not have patience, but think about how long it took them to learn how to walk. They would fall, get back up and go again and again and again. It took several months for them to learn how to walk. Think about potty training – that took months. You were very persistent, you were very consistent with it. Yeah, maybe you were a little impatient, but you know you got to where you needed to get to. When your 3rd grader says “Oh, I can’t learn my multiplication facts” and it’s only been a week, you have to remind them of what they’ve already accomplished. It may seem like walking is not a big deal because they do it all the time, but it took a long time for them to learn how to walk. And it’s gonna take just as long for them to learn their multiplication facts, to do a one-minute plank. They were very persistent and patient with accomplishing walking, you know? And it’s gonna take even longer for you and me to accomplish certain goals. So we could learn a lot about patience from our toddlers. Transcriptions from AI and may not be 100% accurate
