Sara The Snail Lesson 6: Patience

A favorite acquaintance of Professor Crawly is Sara the Snail, who is never in a hurry, and is used for his lesson on patience.

I must admit! I'm still working on this one! Having had a career in the IT industry, I have had to live life in the fast lane in that career. Given the ever changing upgrades and improvements in hardware and software, it was a constant battle to keep abreast of the changes, and a constant learning curve to keep on top of the changes to technology, plus adhere to project deadlines, tight schedules, budget constraints and performance requirements.  

We live in a fast paced world. There are things in our lives that are going to be driven by schedules and deadlines. School assignments are one example of this. However, we need to learn to balance our time wisely. We need to carve out time for downtime and fun times when there is not the pressure of time constraints on us. Teach your preschooler the importance of separating the two and to grab the moments when they can just practice patience, chill out, kick back, put they're feet up, and enjoy those times in their lives without pressure.  

These books are a series of lessons for children ages 4-6 years old, on positive attitudes for life experiences and illustrated through the use of bugs, slugs,and other crawly things. They are taught by a wise old ant named Professor Crawly who uses all his crawly friends to teach his lessons. 

This is a series of books too help kids accomplish three things:

1)  Become less frightened of crawly things at an early age

2) Teach the benefits achieved in our environment by the crawly things on our planet

3) Teach them encouraging lessons and important principles about self-image and interaction with others
