Go for Gratification!


One thing is certain, human nature means that our kids can’t delay gratification for long and everyone pays dearly for trying.  The denied gratification gets paid back all at once by binge eating, drinking, shopping, reckless behavior, etc. with YOLO as the motto.

Instead of preaching denial, help kids learn how to include gratification into their overall objectives; building more gratification and less sacrifice into every milestone.  The journey will be much more fun and they’re more likely to arrive at their destination.
