It’s funny how your brain ‘forgets’ traumatic memories as a protective measure. It’s weird when you don’t even realise you’ve forgotten something till you remember it🙃🙃🙃

Watched a video of Celine Dion explaining how she told her kids their father died, but when she got to the point to tell her older son the news, she said she made a point to sternly tell him “You do NOT have to be the man of the house. You are not your father” 🥺🥺

This “Don’t Eat It Challenge” is actually a Psychology experiment from the 1970’s. You’re technically meant to leave the child for like 15min too loool whether the child eats it or not is predictive of a couple of interesting things later in life 👀👀👀 Read into it

Sorry to clarify, how long it takes your child to eat the marshmallow (or sweet treat) predicts their future academic achievement, social outcomes & behavioural problems. Then those outcomes then predicted future income, crime, self esteem, drug taking & divorce😅
