The word No is not as important as the concept. Research shows that kids need limits and consequences in order to develop the critical success factor of self-discipline. Say Yes to No is about fostering parenting and teaching strategies that help kids succeed.

  • @Se7enBeatleofDoom "A part of having self control is not allow others to dictated you." No argument there. I don't know or care who David Walsh is. I watched a few of these vids, which I would suggest you might check out. If any of the kids didn't like marshmallows they sure didn't act like it. Some of them went to humorous lengths to avoid temptation. You ad hominem assertions certainly don't negate the experiment's findings about poor impulse control v.s delayed gratification.

  • @bixntram This so called experiment failed to mention if all the kids even like Marshmallow's or not. If they don't like them why eat one right away? David Walsh and mediawise are nothing but a lobbyist group that worked with politician's that try to pass censorship laws. What ever points this Experiments try to make was lost when Mediawise try to use's it to promote David walsh book. Apart of having self control is not allow others to dictated you.

  • @Se7enBeatleofDoom very dumb ideological comment. The results of the experiment show quite the opposite outcome. Wake up!

  • No the kids who take the marshmallow will make it big on wall street and the kids that wait will get fucked in the ass by them int he future.

  • wow you can BS your freinds but don't try to BS mine do you get paid for analogies like that lol

  • Yeah... unless, if you had watched the experiment before commenting, you would have seen that bedore the test, the doctor actually asks to the child if he/she likes marshmallows.

    PS : And my neighbour likes yoghurt. Interesting, huh?

  • 'buy this book and your kids will be successful'. right..
