Summary

This study looks at how young children's early experiences with waiting (like for a treat or a gift) might affect their behavior and success later in life. About 200 typically developing children will play games, answer questions, and be observed while waiting. Researchers will also ask parents about their child's habits at home and follow up after one year to see how things change.
