Finally, that zippercruder.com-zip. The virtue! Researchers at Stanford say that there is an easy-in-home test you can do with your kids tonight, to determine if they're more apt to be successful in school and in life, and it's just going to take you two marshmallows. And they say the genius of this experiment was that they followed children for 18 years after they gave them this experiment. And this was an amazingly strong predictor of their success in school, and their adjustment, their happiness, and even in their popularity.

2:01What difference does it make if you know? If you know what? Oh, if they're going to be successful, do you think you can change their fate? I think with the results of this test, you can fix it. Here is the test, and it's so easy. You're going to go, how in the world is that going to be any kind of indication on how your kids are going to be successful? Here's what you do. You place one marshmallow in front of your kid. You then say to your child, you can eat this marshmallow now, or you can wait until I come back and I'll give you two marshmallows. And then you leave the room for 15 minutes. Now, 15 minutes to a five-year-old or a six-year-old. That is eternity, right there. Is that the age where you're supposed to do the test? It doesn't exactly say, let's see, 11 kids, they say toddler age. So what are we talking about? Four, five, six, three, four, five, three, I think three, four, five, something like that. And I've got to link up to this on our website where they did this test on a TV station in Minnesota.

3:02So it'll give you a better indicator how old the kids were. But I think you have three, four, five years old. Okay. So you take off from the room and you see what your kid will do. And their test in Minnesota, 11 kids who took part for eight the marshmallow within the first minute. Zero self-discipline whatsoever. Here's why they say that this experiment is so important. Says they're not predicting that any of these kids are going to be either good, self-discipline or not. What we really want to do is help parents try to figure out how we can help our kids develop more self-discipline because we do know that from a ton of research, and this is coming right from Stanford, from a ton of research, that self-discipline is a key success factor for kids, the ability to say no to themselves. So you're placing them in an atmosphere where they are totally responsible and for their own actions. And you're saying, look, if you could just hold out for a little bit here, you're going to get twice as much in 15 minutes or whatever. So if the kid takes the marshmallow immediately, you can start to teach him some self-discipline by

4:05going, look, you're going to get two in 15 minutes. And with that self-discipline, it's a sure predictor that they'll be more successful in school and more successful in life. Instead of sleeping in when you want to sleep in, you get up and go to work. And again, they follow these kids for 18 years, 18 years. And the research showed that if you can teach them to be self-discipline during this one test, I don't know what their definition of successful is in the future. But if you could teach them this one test and have them be self-discipline for 15 minutes, that they're more apt to be successful later on in life. And it makes sense, right? That's fair. Yeah, it definitely makes sense. Did it give you a percentage of like 80% or is it like 51%. It did. And it came in the form of a book. So I think what they're doing is they're teasing you here to go get the book. And I have a link on over to that on our website also at q100Atlanta.com. So they're not giving you everything obviously. Right. But they just give you the gist of it is again, you sit your toddler down, put a marshmallow in front of the toddler and say, look, you can eat this right now if you want.

5:06Or you can wait. And when I come back, you can have two marshmallows. So it's right there in front of them. That's your reward for holding out. And then you leave the room and you see what they do. So the first batch you said out of 11, four of them ate it right away. Like did they do different sections? It was they're like a medium one that did it after I don't know. 10 minutes or you got to buy the book, I think. I think this is their teeth to buy the book because I would like to see how many of them resisted it until the entire 15 minutes was up. I think and what that predicts about that kid or if you were somewhere in between. Like wasn't the first minute. It wasn't the 15th minute, but it was 10 minutes in. They were like, all right, I held out this long now. I got to have the marshmallow. I think I think my six-year-old would pass it. I'm looking at my 18-month-old and he's so wild already. He's so different than Hayden. When he gets a little older, I don't see him passing this test. I think he's more like his dad. Good morning, Nadine. You're on Q100. Yeah. Are you in trouble if your kid doesn't like marshmallows?

6:06I don't think so. Can you use anything? Yeah, I think you can. If your kid likes chocolate or whatever, I think it's it's more the message behind them really wanting whatever that is in front of them and being able to hold out for just a couple of minutes. Okay, this is about $16 in my family. So I'm going to be doing this for everyone. There's a lot of toddlers in my family. That's that's good. That's what you want to do. You want to sort the kids. All right, okay. You want to sort the kids out early. You want to be able to separate them. So not only in Thanksgiving, you have a kids table, a smart kids table and a dumb kids table. We can do this also. We can go to East Andrews and we can set up a whole bunch of petroleum shots for you. You can have this petroleum shot right now. Or you can have two in 15 minutes. And I think I would probably fail miserably. The bird show. Finding great candidates to hire can be like, well, trying to find a needle in a haystack. Sure, you can post your job to some job board.
