Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Hm, how do you teach delayed gratification?? That’s a tough one.
By never giving them what they want.
I had read somewhere that too much praise is also a problem because they get used to being “successful” and, subsequently, become fearful of trying anything where they think they may fail.
