When I came across the #PatienceChallenge, I thought it was a little cruel to do this to little kids and pets. Then I thought to myself, this may be good for building self-control; in fact, the delayed gratification could even enhance the final reward of getting something desirable. So, the Patience Challenge seems to have gone viral for these and other reasons:
This video went viral on Kylie Jenner’s Instagram page. It is endearing in the extreme, I have to admit it.
The complete concertation, the difficulty resisting temptation… it’s all quite adorable!
She manages to resist temptation each time, just in time. Say it with me – that face!
She waited. Then she waited some more. Then she tried to amuse herself some other way. Then she left. But she didn’t give in to temptation!
Big brother is teaching his little brother here.
OK, she wasn’t even trying! Clearly that was the point of it all.
Bob here didn’t seem to be trying too hard to please his master here.
That is the picture of restraint! I could not hope for my doggie to wait any more than 0.5 seconds so I am frankly impressed.
That is a really, really good doggie: waited and was suitably rewarded!
Watch till the end to see the big guy go for the small guy's share.
…This doggie waited --- at least for a while.
This pug clearly thought that was a long enough wait after their human was out of the picture.
This guy decided not to wait either.
This guy failed the #PatienceChallenge and caused some damage in the bargain as well.
