From a very young age, my daughter has had problems with patience, it is difficult for her to remain calm when it comes to waiting for anything that excites her, she gets desperate and begins to ask insistently, seeing that she had no idea how to guide her, i asked wisdom from my Husband.
Today I found this testimony from Erin https://encouragingwomen.org/boast-about-my-impatience/, I was impressed because my Beloved responded to me through this praise, giving me the tools to guide my daughter.
So after reading it, I called my 7-year-old daughter and told her: do you want to know the meaning of love? She was interested and I repeated the following verse: “Love is patient, it is kind. Love is not envious or boastful or proud. He is not rude, he is not selfish, he is not easily angered, he does not hold grudges.” 1C1345
I explained what each word means and the context of Erin's story and asked her if she understood and she said, “Mom, am I impatient that I am not acting with God's love? I told her that this was exactly what happened and then she replied: “so whenever I feel impatience do I have to ask God to help me? I told him that this is the correct way to deal with that feeling.
I am grateful for all the ways my Beloved guides me to raise my daughter correctly, reminds me that I can ask Him for everything and shows me that my daughter's education interests him as much as I do, He is the best Father!

Thank you for sharing Perla, when I read that verse, I can just see how I fall short of the love He wants me to have.

The way He etaches us to reach our children is amazing, thank you so much for sharing how He is speaking to her as the loving Father He is!!
It is wonderful to see how your Husband is leading you to start teaching what love means at such short age. I think all of us fall to show love to others when we get impatient and I have seen how patience keep us in a waiting room where my husband is able to teach me so many things that the time was simply worthy.
Oh wow I’m so glad that your Husband guided you to the resource to help you to explain this to your daughter in a way that she understands!! ❤ it’s not always easy to find ways to teach our kids a principle or something we learned for them to understand but He is faithful and will help and guide us if we ask HIM !!
