5-Day Patience Challenge for Parents & Kids
Helping neurodiverse kids wait calmly and confidently
Day 1 – Count to 5
Ask your child to wait while you count out loud: “1… 2… 3… 4… 5!” Give a high-five or reward after. This shows them that waiting has an end point.
Day 2 – Add a Visual Timer
Use a small sand timer or a phone timer set to 10 seconds. Let your child watch the time pass. Visuals make waiting more predictable.
Day 3 – Waiting with a Distraction
When you need them to wait, give them something engaging: a fidget, a picture book, or even their favorite sensory toy. This builds “waiting without boredom.”
Day 4 – Extend the Time
Increase the wait time to 30 seconds or 1 minute using the timer. Encourage them: “You’re doing great waiting!”
Day 5 – Real-Life Practice
Ask them to wait while you finish a small task—pouring your coffee, folding a towel, answering a quick text. Celebrate when they succeed!
🌟 Tip for Parents: Waiting is a learned skill, especially for kids with neurodiverse needs. Start small, be consistent, and praise the effort—not just the result.

5 Din ka Sabr Challenge – Bachon aur Waliden ke liye
Neuro diverse bachon ko sukoon se aur aitmaad ke sath intezaar karna sikhana
Din 1 – 5 tak ginain
Apne bache se kahain ke woh intezaar kare jab tak aap zor se ginain: “1… 2… 3… 4… 5!” Phir high-five ya chhota sa inaam dein. Is se unhe samajh aata hai ke intezaar ka khatma hota hai.
Din 2 – Visual timer ka istemal
Ek chhota sand timer ya phone ka timer 10 second par set karein. Bache ko waqt guzarne ka nazara karne dein. Visual cheezein intezaar ko asaan banati hain.
Din 3 – Dhyan hata kar intezaar
Jab aap chahte hain ke bacha intezaar kare, to use koi interesting cheez dein — fidget toy, picture book, ya us ka favourite sensory toy. Is se woh “bina bore hue intezaar” karna seekhta hai.
Din 4 – Waqt barhain
Timer ka istemal karte hue intezaar ka waqt 30 second ya 1 minute tak barhain. Usay hosla dein: “Tum bohot acha intezaar kar rahe ho!”
Din 5 – Asal zindagi mein practice
Jab aap koi chhota kaam khatam kar rahe hon — coffee dalna, towel fold karna, ya chhota text send karna — tab bache se intezaar karwain. Kamiyabi par khushi manayen!
🌟 Waliden ke liye mashwara: Intezaar ek seekhi hui skill hai, khaas tor par neuro diverse bachon ke liye. Chhota shuru karein, consistency rakhein, aur sirf result nahi balki koshish ki bhi tareef karein.
