Wait for the wave
6–12 MonateSuccess MindsetKeine Materialien erforderlich
When saying goodbye to someone, hold your child's hand ready to wave but pause for two to three seconds before helping them wave. Use an enthusiastic voice to build anticipation, saying 'ready to wave bye-bye' before guiding their hand through the motion. This creates a brief, joyful waiting moment attached to a social routine your child will encounter frequently.

Warum es funktioniert
Social routines with brief delays help infants develop anticipation skills and tolerance for waiting in a positive context. Repetition of this pattern builds neural pathways for self-regulation. Research demonstrates that early self-regulation experiences predict better academic achievement and life outcomes, with cognitive control foundations beginning in infancy (Blair, C., & Diamond, A., 2008).
Tipps für Eltern
