Why Kids in the Speed Era Dislike Waiting
The article addresses the phenomenon of decreasing patience among children in the age of speed, where they face difficulty in waiting due to the rapid availability of information and entertainment means, especially the use of smartphones. Studies indicate that children's ability to wait has not diminished; in fact, sometimes the youngest children demonstrate greater patience. However, the modern environment reduces their opportunities to practice the skill of waiting and to deal with boredom. Research, such as a 2023 study, confirms that habituation to instant entertainment affects children's psychological interactions and increases their emotional reactivity. It is recommended that parents build children's trust and encourage them to wait by setting waiting durations and using distraction techniques, with a focus on understanding their needs rather than relying on electronic entertainment as an immediate solution. This aims to enhance children's patience and develop their skills in managing boredom.
