It's pretty amazing the amount of patience it takes to be a good parent. There is literally no greater challenge that I've had in my life. I feel as though I'm doing a damn good job thus far and it has everything to do with patience and taking the time to describe "why" I am asking them to do something. If you are quick to anger then your child will be quick to anger. If you have no patience, how can you ask patience of your child? The apple and the tree, right?
