It asks how children and adults exercise self-control differently, whether external rules are always needed to encourage self-control, and how parenting practices can help children develop self-discipline. The questions also explore how addiction and instant gratification tendencies may challenge people's ability to exercise self-control over their behaviors and decisions.

Self-control + Marshmallows

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

If you had taken part in the Marshmallow Test as a child, how would you have probably reacted? Are you surprised that children who can exercise self-control seem to have greater success in their adult lives than those who cant? Why do children find it more difficult to exercise self-control than adults? Do you consider yourself an impulsive person or do you normally think carefully about things before you act? External authority is necessary when people cannot exercise self-control. Do you think we will always need laws and rules to prevent us from doing certain things? Some people think that we only obey laws and regulations because we are afraid of the negative consequences of not doing so. What do you think? Do certain animals exercise self-control? Is this self-control different from that exercised by humans? When you really want to say something in a conversation and someone else is speaking do you normally wait for your turn to speak or do you interrupt? Is it always good to control your emotions and desires? Who exercises greater self-control: men or women? Are you the type of person who seeks short-term day-to-day gratification or do you plan ahead and think of longer-term gratification? Some people eat too much chocolate when theyre feeling depressed. Do you ever treat yourself to something bad when youre feeling a bit down? What would you do if you suddenly came into a lot of money? How much would you spend and how much would you save? Some people say that children are too spoilt these days. What do you think? How should parents react when their children have tantrums in public places? How can parents teach their children self-discipline? Do you think its OK for parents to slap their children when they misbehave? How does addiction affect a persons ability to exercise self-control? Should we excuse addicts if they dont exercise much self-control? Consumer society turns people into greedy, insatiable monsters who are primarily concerned with instant gratification! Do you agree? Do you have any vices? Is there anything in your life that you shouldnt do but you cant stop yourself from doing? Do you have a lot of willpower?
