• Who was your thank you to, and what did it say?

Ask your child the following questions about sharing:

• Who can give me an example of how you have shared with someone in the past few days?
• Why do you think that sharing is important? 
• Are there some things that you should not share?
  • Do not share homework, and test answers.

Ask your child the following questions about being patient.

• Can you name some examples of when you have to be patient?
  • Waiting your turn on the slide.
  • Waiting your turn to play during a game. 
  • Waiting for Christmas or our birthday.
• What are some ideas on how to become more patient?

• When being patient in a line, consider doing something else, and then come back, and see if the line is shorter.
• If you do wait in a line, talking to the people around you makes time go faster.
• If you are waiting for your parent to get off the phone, think of something to play with until they are done.
