I wanted to challenge Michaels self control and also teach him about over coming short term gratification. Heavy stuff for a 6 year old right? So I gave Michael 5 pieces of candy this morning and told him if he went all day without eating them I would get him the new toy he wanted. Well, he came home with a 5 pieces of candy. Upon further inspection I noticed one had been sucked on a bit and told him sorry no deal! He than explained I said nothing about tasting them, only that he had to bring all 5 pieces back...I was out smarted by a 6 year old! The lesson is very valuable and not taught in any school setting. Teaching your kids will power and focus on future gains over instant gratification is a very important lesson! Studies show kids that do well in practices like this have better health, education, relationships, and financial success in their future!
