patience can not be taught but mimicked. If oyu have patience, you children will most likely have patience. If you do not have patience, your child will not, thats why I am the way I am XD

I think it's both, but sure, we learn by example.

No, they teach patience to us.

(I don't have children but see how much parents have to become patient with them).

We try for a big part as we age we get more patience.

some don't seem to even try, then teachers have to try to compensate, we think a degree of discipline is beneficial to both parents and children, patience is part of that.

Why do most parents then, forget to discipline themselves with the whip, before they use it on their kids?
