I’ll have it in the morning 

“Can I go to the toy shop?”

My 4 year old ask…

“Maybe once your star chart 📊 🌟 is full up you can take some from your piggy bank”

I responded..

And this is hard.

It’s hard for us 

Let alone a 4 year old.

Doing tasks with no guarantee of a reward. 

I mean they’re still learning about how consequences come from their behaviour at that age.

And the benefits and results that come from delayed gratification.

We talk about delayed gratification a lot 

Inside our Kickstart programme .

It’s a practice …

And a strategy I yae when I fancy something on an evening but I’m not really hungry 

Is to say:

“If I still want it in the morning, I’ll have it then”

Give it a try. 

I’m not saying I can’t have it

I’m just delaying the choice.

A bit like I would when making many decisions.

Sleep on it..

See how I feel in the morning.

Can I really justify that pink fluffy unicorn outfit?

^^ did I just say that out loud ooops 

It was to entertain my kids, honest 😂 

But anyway…

Try it today.

If you get a craving 

Give yourself permission to have it in the morning tomorrow

If you still want it.

 “Sleep on it”

As we say.
