Book Review: The Patience Song by Dr. Crystal Bowe

Patience, oh patience…why must it be so hard to have you? I must admit that I don’t have a lot of patience when it comes to certain things. It’s something that I definitely had to work on over the years. It’s hard for adults to have patience so imagine how hard it is for a child. A child is always on go mode and ready to do whatever they want to do NOW! Patience is definitely something to learn and learning it at a young age is perfect.

About The Patience Song by Dr. Crystal Bowe

The Patience Song is a book about a little girl named Isabel who hates waiting. She learns how to have patience by a song that her parents sing to her. Her parents also learn about being patient too thanks to Isabel and the patience song!

Our Thoughts on The Patience Song

Oh my goodness! Is Isabel my youngest daughter? My 2-year-old Joia and her are so much alike! I’m sure so many other parents feel the same way. Most children, especially young children, don’t have any patience at all. It’s hard to teach young children patience because they simply just don’t get it. Well, let me tell you…your child will get it with this book! What I really like is that the book really does have a song in it all about patience. It’s a good reminder for kids and it’s easy to sing along to.

Jordyn could also relate to the main character as well. She manages her patience way better than her younger sister since she’s almost 8, but she still struggles with being patient too. There are several situations mentioned in the book that kids struggle with being patient from waiting to get on a ride to waiting for dinner. The parents taught Isabel the patience song, but there’s a time or two in the book that she had to sing it to them! They taught their daughter well.

This is a great book to help children learn about patience. I’m sure it’s something that they will remember and will sing quite often. It’s a very catchy song and it’s super easy to learn. I definitely recommend this book to all the parents out there that are trying to teach patience and need a little patience.
