Developing Patience While Traveling

Being out on a trip demands some patience to deal with unpredicted changes, discomfort or long waits. However, it pays off to be patient when we get to enjoy new places, have fun experiences, and meet interesting people.

While traveling with 4yo Carlos, I try to avoid long waits or discomforts, though not eliminating them completely.

It’s a matter of finding the right balance between being patient and being able to do what we want.

I’ve seen how Carlos is now so aware of this game. 3 hours in the bus might mean getting to a new city; a longer walk could turn into delicious food, and so on.

I don’t teach my boy to be patient, nor does he need me to do so. He’s developing patience as a side effect of being part of my adult life, my adventurous life. I actually didn’t mean to teach patience at all.
