Extremely engaging story

Michelle Claus has written a highly compelling and charming story. The ideas and values that this book delves in are quite deep. Although this book is quite short it has much depth to ponder for a,long time!

When we are young we view things differently, everything seems to go slowly, especially when it pertains to time. You often hear children say, “I can’t wait to grow up,” or “Are we there yet?” So what happens when, in The Marshmallow Test by Michelle Claus, a little girl is given a challenge of time as it pertains to delayed gratification? Her dad places one marshmallow on the table in front of her and says, “If you can wait fifteen minutes before eating this marshmallow, I will give you something even better.” As this funny children’s story begins to unfold with beautiful and inspiring illustrations by Sasha Roberson, you begin to journey into the mind of a child.

Interesting study of self-control. I appreciate when a scientific book is accessible to non-scientists like myself. As a teacher, I found the information helpful when dealing with my more impulsive students. Now I can help them practice using their "cool systems" to help them tackle higher level thinking problems.
