Marshmallow test

Agreed

I think the marshmallow test has been around for quite awhile (decades?)

It’s also not just testing

I read an article talking about how someone’s home dynamics influences how they act in school

A kid who lives in a house with parents, grandparents and six siblings may have to yell to be heard or noticed

And if you see something you want you better take it because if you wait to ask it’s gone

Speaking of big families and cultural differences, a little tidbit from MX, is that people here go everywhere with the entire family, and I don't mean vacations, or the movies... you go to a supermarket, and you see a family of 7 pushing one cart :hihi: There's dad, mom, grandma, the kids... you go to the checkout, the line has 40 people, but only 5-6 carts are ahead of you.

Or going to a doctor's/dentist's office, all of the seats are taken, and people are standing around, because the entire family took the one person to see the doctor.

Of course, this isn't universal, but in certain areas of the cities, and especially in small towns/villages, in general, the family unit goes together everywhere.
