Synopsis "Waiting Is Not Forever / La Espera No Dura Para Siempre (in Spanish)"

English-Spanish edition helps young children develop strategies to make waiting less frustrating and learn that patience is important. Children are often waiting--for the school bus, their turn on the slide, or their birthday--and waiting can be frustrating! But learning to be patient and developing self-control will equip children with tools for success in school and in social settings. With vivid illustrations and simple strategies, this reassuring English-Spanish bilingual book helps children learn to delay gratification and make waiting more fun without relying on electronics. With her trademark mix of empathy and encouragement, author Elizabeth Verdick provides activities and ideas for children--like observing the world around them, inventing new games, and anticipating what's to come--that can be adapted for any situation. In this addition to the best-selling Best Behavior(R) series, children will learn how to avoid boredom and replace whining words with waiting words: "This will be worth the wait!" Best Behavior(R) Series Simple words and lively full-color illustrations guide children to choose positive behaviors. Select titles are available in two versions: a durable board book for ages 1-4 and an expanded paperback for ages 4-7. Bilingual board book and paperback editions of select titles also are available. Kids, parents, and teachers love these award-winning books. All include helpful tips for teachers, caregivers, and parents.
