Basically, the easiest method for parents to teach patience to their children is not by buying them things, but by giving their children an opportunity to learn what they are interested in. Thus, parents can teach their children the same hard lessons that they have painfully learned too.
What does "hard lesson" mean?

A hard lesson is something that is learned the hard way--usually through experience rather than second-hand. I can tell you that it is a very bad idea to drive a car after you drink alcohol, and you might believe it is true, but it will be a hard lesson if you drink and drive and then have an accident, and find out for yourself that I was right.
