The marshmallow experiment is a fun and interesting activity with a 4-year old. Francine is turning 4 in a few months so we thought she might be up for it. In the test, the 4-year old is given one marshmallow and told they can eat it now if they like. But, if they can wait for 20 minutes without eating it, they will be given another one. So here's ... Read Morehow we did it for Francine. We put her in a room and gave her one marshmallow. I told her the rules and left her alone in the room for about 2 minutes. When I came back, I had chocolate syrup with me and I poured some on her marshmallow. I then left her for another 3 minutes. It's very interesting to watch how she tried to keep herself 'busy' and try hard to not eat the marshmallow. If you have a 4 year old, you should try it!!

  • i would feel sooo guilty though :(

  • She looks like me when I was two

  • In the originl experiment, they followed the lives of those kids for mor ethan 18 yrs, those kids who waited end u being happy, successful in thie lives. Parents should teach their kids early in life about self-control / self-discipline...

  • She was awaiting for a better reward without eating the marshmallow:)

  • Cute :D

  • she is so adorable

    loved when she started singing

    "dad, whats going on over there?"

    so cute

  • Omg she is 4 years old? What the hell! Her speech is amazing. She sounds twice her age.

    20 minutes is a bit too much I think.

  • @danypoa

    The point is teaching children to wait and have self control, if she'd eaten the marshmallow without waiting she'd only get one but if she waited she'd get too, good things come to those who wait.

  • Mine was the worst. I had to wait 6 months before I can open my gift, also knowing what's inside of it, and what I die for.

  • What a sweet heart
