Food should make us feel good. It tastes great and nourishes our bodies. If you eat too little or eat too much, however, your health and quality of life could be affected. This can result in negative feelings toward food.

Sit a child down at a table, offer him a marshmallow, and make the following promise:

“You can eat this now if you want, but if you wait 15 minutes until I come back, and I see you haven’t eaten it, I will give you another one. You’ll end up with two marshmallows.”

What do kids do? Some show great powers of delayed gratification, not touching that marshmallow for the entire 15 minutes. Others give in to temptation after only a few minutes.

And it seems to matter. When researchers have followed up on the preschoolers who’d participated in the first marshmallow experiments of the 1970s, they have found that a child’s performance on the test was a predictor of many later outcomes.

They were also more likely to finish college and end up with lower body mass indices, or BMIs.

So the marshmallow test has gotten a lot of attention as a measure of self-control and a predictor of life success.

The behaviour of the children towards marshmallows is different.


Are the children able to wait before eating the marshmallow?


They are told that if they can wait, they will be given not one, but two marshmallows as a snack.


What is particularly interesting is that the waiting time is remarkable – being 12 minutes. A very long time, especially for children.


TWO CHILDREN are tested - must stand the challenge


ONE - the girl – is what is called the RELIABLE GROUP
ONE – the boy – is the UNRELIABLE GROUP


Why?
What makes the difference? The environment does.The family and the education received do.
The girl is offered a lot of coloured pencils to make a drwing while waiting.
The boy isn't.


THE RESULT ( THE CONCLUSION) IS:
-pay attention to the way you grow up your children, because it can be of great influence upon their will-power.
