Patience Is a Physiological Skill

Patience is often treated as a character trait.  In reality, it’s a physiological skill.

Under constant stress, the body narrows its tolerance window. Small disruptions feel bigger. Emotional control takes more effort. Even experienced teachers notice they’re less patient when their internal systems are overloaded.

That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It means your system is working overtime.

It’s about having the capacity to respond.
