Behaviour Matters: Croc Needs to Wait - A book about patience
Sue Graves, Trevor Dunton
This funny, charming story is the perfect way to introduce young children to being patient, and help them understand the importance of waiting their turn. Also included are suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children fully understand how their behaviour can impact on others.
Croc can never wait for anything – he’s alway interrupting, rushes everything and he can never wait to take his turn. Can he learn to slow down and be a little more patient?

Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss values.

This book is about being patient. In this story croc is not patient and rushes everything. I recommend this book because the characters are good, and croc learns that if you rush and don’t take your time and your turn it can upset your friends and they won’t want to play. It helps to show you need patience and take care. Croc learns this and what he must do to put things right.

Croc can never wait for anything. She's always interrupting other people. She rushes things and hates waiting her turn. Can she learn to slow down and be little bit more patient?
