Dad shares how having a son can teach you patience
Yes, it's true, having kids is a big reminder to practice patience in your life...
Having kids changes your life completely, but we think it's all about perspective.
Not all change is bad for you. Kids come into your life to teach you things that you may have forgotten along the way. They are constant reminders of how we should be living our lives.
Think about it, kid's rarely take 'No' for an answer, sometimes we can get complacent in life and forget to fight for what we love, what we want.

A father recently shared a video on TikTok that was a big reminder of how to be patient.
He particularly said being a father to a boy teaches you patience, but we think that all kids try to teach their parents patience. We are so used to the fast pace of life and kids remind us to slow down.
You see, they are still learning, they are still growing and trying to understand how things work, so, we have to slow it down and learn with them.
If anything, this video not only made us smile (because little Hendrix's laugh was so adorable), but it also made us think about all the things we can enjoy with our kids by just applying a different mindset when we're around them.
Have a look at the video from TikTok below.
