On this episode, I discuss delayed gratification for kids.

This episode is for parents who would like to learn how to avoid jealousy and fear among children and their siblings by teaching children the concept of delayed gratification.

In episode nine of the School Plus Kids podcast, I share the benefits of practicing delayed gratification with your family as a positive parenting technique.

On this episode I discuss:

• Why delayed gratification leads to a more valuable and fulfilling life experience


• Tips on getting started with practicing delayed gratification TODAY


• How positive reinforcement helps instill the habit of delayed gratification in young kids

Key takeaways:

• Praising effort has proven to provide more long-term value rather than praising intelligence or outcome alone


• In the age of high-tech devices and smartphones, it is more important now than ever to find areas in our lives where we can practice self-control & patience through delayed gratification


• Teaching young children delayed gratification as a concept requires patience but leads to a rewarding life experience
