I have heard about the marshmallow test a few times before, but this is the first time I have seen it played out in video.
You put a marshmallow in front of a child and tell them that they can either eat it now, or they can have 2 marshmallows if they can save it until you are back in the room.
Just amazing to watch the decision making happening.

I could no joke watch a live feed of this all day long, like in a little window at the top of my computer screen. (Related is this from the New Yorker.)

I was in giggle fits the entire time I watched this. It’s so fun watching kids try sooooo hard to be good.
