In parenthood, you learn the phrase "two things can be true" and at Once Upon A Child Clarksville, you can put that into practice… Shop for everyday essentials like baby bodysuits, sneakers for school, and toys for rainy days. And sell the no-longer-needed things like the holiday dress she's outgrown and the toy trains he's no longer obsessed with. Shop for what they need, sell what they don't. Two things can be true at Once Upon A Child.

https://lnkd.in/gHAyAP-Q Look at the excitement here on receiving a jar of pickles for Christmas! Young children see the world much differently than us and can truly appreciate the simple pleasures in life. And if adults were able to do that more, there is research to show that not only can this offset small annoyances we have throughout the day, but it can also help us make better progress toward our goals. And these are simple, low-cost activities such as taking a walk outside or having tea with a friend. Counterintuitively, when your to-do list is too long, and you eliminate these types of activities, you may make less progress toward your goals.

Though the Marshmallow Test has been widely discredited in recent years, it still has important lessons to offer... The test, briefly, was about the ability to delay gratification. It promised to give toddlers two marshmallows (or Oreo cookies) instead of one, if they waited for sometime (15 to 30 minutes). Those who could delay gratification to earn the greater reward were more successful in life. Better grades, higher graduation rates, fewer teenage pregnancies, less substance abuse, higher incomes. The test has been discredited because once you control for family income the effect goes away. It makes sense. Kids from wealthy families are accustomed to such treats and it isn’t that big a deal to wait. The important lesson, though, is that those who were successful didn’t just rely on will power. They covered their eyes, looked in the other direction, held their hands behind their backs etc to avoid reaching out for the delicious marshmallow right in front of them. In the Rider-Elephant-Path model terms, they cleared the path (tweaked the environment) to increase odds of desired behavior. Video footage shows that one child tippy-toed to the Oreo, sucked out the creamy part, then rearranged it to avoid detection. He eventually became Bernie Madoff 😂 Source: Misbehaving by Richard Thaler #conversionrateoptimization #ecommerce #marketing #uxdesign #sales

In the marshmallow test, children's ability to resist immediate temptation for a greater reward later is evaluated. In a variation of the test, children were promised a better reward for waiting, but some were let down when the promised reward didn't materialize. This experience influenced their behavior in a subsequent test: those who lost trust in the fairness of the system were more likely to give in to immediate gratification and eat the marshmallow right away, while those who had experienced fairness were more inclined to wait. This illustrates that when individuals perceive their environment as unfair or untrustworthy, they are more likely to prioritize immediate rewards over long-term gains. Expanding this insight to broader societal contexts, it suggests that in societies where individuals perceive inequity in the distribution of rewards or recognition for their efforts, they may lose confidence in the system. When people feel that their hard work or contributions are not appropriately acknowledged or rewarded, they may become disillusioned and less motivated to invest in long-term goals or to engage in behaviors that benefit the greater community. This lack of trust and motivation can ultimately hinder societal progress and development, as individuals may become less inclined to cooperate or innovate in a system they perceive as unjust. Therefore, fostering a sense of fairness and equity in societal systems is crucial for maintaining trust, motivation, and progress.

As a former kindergarten teacher I know how important play-based learning is for students. So many overlapping skills engaged during this experience. I love this Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket.

Is love in the air, deep in the heart of downtown Texas? After consumers splurged last year to celebrate other relationships in their lives like friends, co-workers, classmates and teachers, and pets, spending on these groups is returning to normal levels as consumers look for ways to celebrate the romantic relationships in their lives this year. National Retail Federation's data shows that consumers are planning to spend a new high of $14.2 billion on their significant others or spouses this year, or a record $101.84 per person, https://lnkd.in/gCGfTkiz This Valentine’s Day, show your “downtown love” — love for your sweetie and your whole community — by purchasing gifts (or gift-making supplies) and meals (or ingredients) at locally owned downtown businesses. Last year, Americans spent $25.9 billion on Valentine’s Day. Imagine if we shifted some of that spending to independent businesses! Shop Small in downtown this Valentine's Day! Locally owned businesses offer us much to love. They strengthen our local economy, culture, and well-being. Independent businesses re-circulate more money in our community than chain stores. Moreover, studies show that small businesses create most new jobs, meaning today’s local Valentines are tomorrow’s jobs. #ValentinesDay2024 #DowntownLove #ShopSmall #TexasDowntown #TXDT
