Question: How Can I Control My Impatience?
I understand my 5 year old son is at the stage where he is taking so much in and asks so many questions. How can I control my impatience toward him? I sometimes get so impatient it turns into anger.

Tasha, age 30
Answer: Dear Tasha,

It can be very challenging when you have a little one with such an inquisitive mind and a great need to learn. I sense that he is a soul who is here to master many different abilities. He will continue to explore such varied interests and will excel at them all.

You may feel as if you have your hands full. Patience is something to be valued and you will need all you can get. I would suggest using the Bach Flower Remedy Impatiens. It is made from the impatiens plant and holds the vibrational frequency that will assist you with having patience.

Try setting parameters for when he can ask all his questions. Set up a question/answer time a few times a day, making a game of it. Ask him to save his questions up until it's game time. This will teach him that there is a time for questions. Keep in mind he is only five, so his excitement will still get the best of him at times.

Many Blessings,
Jaelin
