Details This study statistically analyzed the selective and descriptive responses to a questionnaire survey of 158 parents of kindergarten children. Factors influencing the acquisition of persistence, motivation, emotional stability, and communication ability were examined. The results of ordered logistic regression analysis revealed that parents' wait-and-see attitude, especially “waiting for children to get ready for the day” was positively correlated with persistence, challenge, and emotional stability, and significantly improved persistence and emotional stability. In addition, the attitudes of “waiting for children to put away the toys” and “waiting for children when they fail” had positive effects on the ability to communicate with the family. On the other hand, the descriptive answers revealed the specific and various situations in which waiting was difficult for parents.
