  • 22 Ways to Teach Impulse Control & Delayed Gratification #573
    Mar 18 2026

    Learning impulse control and delayed gratification is more important than almost everything else we teach our kids in school. If I were raising a child today, I would slow my life down, spend way less time on academics and chores, and spend much more time teaching my kids impulse control and delayed gratification. These life skills disproportionately impact your child’s health, wealth and happiness. But they must be taught. I want to give you 22 practical ways to do this. **We are extending our Black Friday Sale for one more week.

This is a podcast to share with other parents. This is the FINAL week of our Black Friday in March Sale.

I want to show you a powerful strategy that melts resistance, gets kids moving, and creates bonding moments...instead of power struggles.
