Could
you take the
Marshmallow
test?
Success in the 'Marshmallow Test' is a significant predictor in how well children will do in school and later life. Often referred to as delayed gratification, it is a key behaviour for learning. Why? Put simply, if you can learn to be patient and wait for something, you’ll often get something better at the end. For example, if you spend all your pocket money every week, what can you buy? On the other hand, if you save for a week or even a year, what will you be able to afford? Children need to learn to work at things before they succeed – they might not be brilliant at first but if they persevere and have patience they are more likely to achieve something better.
