Marshmallow experiment was first conducted in 1960 in Stendforskom University. A group of children aged 4 years were given a marshmallow (marshmallow - American counterpart of our marshmallow) and They said that if they did not eat it right away, but will suffer for 20 minutes, then it will be rewarded with more one. Some of the children was able to withstand 20 minutes, someone ate marshmallows almost immediately. Then, after the time, scientists have studied the progress of these children in their teens (according to the questionnaires filled out by their parents and teachers). As a result, children who were patient and able to wait for 20 minutes, showed the best results in their studies compared to those who could not tolerate.

Conclusion: Would you like your child to attend the best? Nurture it perseverance, commitment and the ability to wait. As a mother I can tell you that learning a lot again with his son, so it's a very useful exercise.

After seeing it just remembered one of the series Jumble about how the boy was brought up by the strength of will and looked at Snickers. The children of the experiment it is clearly greater than that of him;)

Neskuchniy you on Friday and good weekend!
