🦁 Lenny’s Letter - When children struggle to wait

Apr 03, 2026

Hello kind grown-up,

Waiting is one of the hardest skills for children — and adults.

Not because they lack patience, but because waiting creates uncertainty.

When we rush children through waiting, we miss an opportunity to build something important:
tolerance for the in-between

You might say:

  • “Waiting can feel long.”

  • “We can stay with it.”

  • “It will happen in time.”

Waiting teaches trust.
