The Marshmallow Test: Cute or Cruel?

(This is so cruel...but perhaps I should use this method to teach DD to delay gratification?^_^)

The Marshmallow Test: Cute or Cruel?

"We all know that patience is a virtue; we also know that it's a virtue young children don't always have in large amounts. Or at all. Especially when there's candy involved. So when these kids are left alone in a room with a gigantic marshmallow and a promise that if they do not eat it, they can have another, what happens? Watch the video and see."
