Hello, Parents of Anthem,
The motto in school this week is:
I don't trade what I want MOST for what I want now.
This week we focus on the ability to delay gratification. Why is this skill important? James Clear wrote a nice article about Delayed Gratification. You can read it here: Delayed Gratification Article. The headline for the article reads:
40 Years of Stanford Research Found That People
With This One Quality Are More Likely to Succeed.
That one quality is (you guessed it) the ability to delay gratification. Being able to put off immediate gratification for something more important later is a crucial component to success.
One way to help your child understand the concept of delayed gratification is to have them ask themselves, "Would this make my future-self happy?" When they think about that question, it may help them connect to what is more important to them, so they are willing to work for it now.
Knowing what you want is the first step to attaining it. When you see your child making short-term decisions, help them connect to what they want more, rather than what they want now. It can also be helpful to share with them how when you take action and get your work done, you often feel better because contributing to your future success usually feels better than avoiding your current obligations.
Here are some picture books that can help explain this better for younger children:
- The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss
- Someday by Eileen Spinelli
- Joe the Monkey Saves for a Goal by John Lanza & Marylin Walton
Best to you,
Danna Evans

Each class is 90 minutes and will not exceed an 8:1 student to instructor ratio. Exact class times will be determined based on overall participation. Cost is $150 per participant.
