What is the best way of teaching patience? A method that worked on you would do. BTW I also like impatient people.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Good question. You have to share "catch phrases" with them...counting to 10....deep breathing....clever memes to post on your bulletin board.
Have a structured plan for you class. make it clear what you're doing each day. I kept an "agenda" posted on a corner of the white-board....that they had to copy at the start of each week. It included HW; and they got bonus points (added to their tests) for turning it in early in the week (+3 for Tuesday, etc).
The more organized and structured your program is...the easier students will settle in to a "patience" mode.

This is good. I do need a little more detail by way of actual examples. Please 'Like' original question?
@Mcflewster Search "patience posters" on Amazon. Here's a good one;
@Robecology Thanks. Is it possible to teach one'self patience? I am the only one in the family who can untangle any sized bunch of string or sort out the Christmas lights at the start of December.
@Mcflewster Good question; I think our parents gave us the gift...it's something that develops through childhood...although the "inspirational posters" and other materials do help.
@Robecology " something that develops through childhood." Sorry this says everything and nothing. More Detail required > I am sure you know it.
@Mcflewster sorry I can't give you a good answer to your question "Is it possible to teach one'self patience? That's why I say it's a good question; I honestly think that it's just learned...sort of like we learn or don't learn "religion"...it's a family trait to either teach patience...or teach impatience.
@Robecology You are very honest. Just keep probing !!!! Know any patient people?
@Mcflewster Obama comes to mind...
