TED Talk - Don't Eat the Marshmallow

I love TED Talks because each one has something interesting, informative, and thought-provoking. Over the course of the last year I spent many hours browsing and watching TED Talks. Yesterday, I came across this TED Talk given by Joachim de Posada. The talk is about the study of behavior of children when they are given a marshmallow and told not to eat it for fifteen minutes. In the talk Joachim de Posada reveals that the response of children to this challenge can be indicative of future success in life. In addition to being informative and thought-provoking, the talk includes some really cute video clips.

The information shared in the talk confirms what most of us know about the impulse control of small children. None-the-less, it's nice to have a reminder that can inform our planning of day's lessons.
