Downloads and DVDs are available at http://www.ignitermedia.com. In this popular test, several kids wrestle with waiting to eat a marshmallow in hopes of a bigger prize. This video is a good illustration of temptation and the hope in future rewards. This experiment is based on many previous and similar scientific tests.

Special thanks to Watermark Community Church (http://www.Watermark.org) for sharing their video with us.
