Beneficios de postergar la gratificación | marcos mayer | TEDxSantaRosa


after the gala
few situations are so stimulating and
as challenging as exercising
fatherhood there are no manuals
times change and the way in which
our parents educated us
decidedly it does not seem to be the most
suitable for the times that run
our children live constantly
faced with a series of stimuli
for which he did not always seem to be
prepared and I think more than ever
they need our accompaniment and
support to move its development of the
better way
surely as parents many times
we have to improvise and yet
we should have a little more
tools to add others to
move and face the problems to
those who face
what many are not here present
They are parents of a baby two months , a
5-year-old girl and take me out
knew some attitude of mine or some
situation that depends in part on me that
had such an impact on the future life
of my son who will determine what suddenly
he would live ten years less in his
lifetime
surely I would try to arbitrate
all the means at my disposal for
reverse that situation and surely
all of you do the same
however it is also equally true
that in order to change an attitude or
to be able to take some action
one has to know what is
doing or not doing has this
impact
a clear example of this is what happens
with our own parents
maybe about thirty years ago
about 20 years ago when it was not known
in science the effects of
report on passive smokers not
I would like any of you
share and lift it by hand
how many of you at least once
during your childhood share an environment
closed with an adult smoker in at a
totally smoke-free environment that
go hand in hand please
practically all and there is no
surprise and he was asked how many of
you smoke today in your homes and with
the windows closed in the presence of
their children
please send in the hand of the base such
but once one does not dare to
to show
referring as much the victory does not give us a
little bit of shame and we are ashamed
because we feel negligent
we know that if we do it without
However, this attitude apparently
negligent of our parents was such if
they did not know what they were
doing was negative that at the discretion of
each one but I think that the gravity
of our acts and above all lies
when we know that what we are
doing is wrong
anyway, we do not do our
parents did not know that smoking in our
presence will not be a good year in the
Currently about 1,600
millions of people in the world have
overweight or obesity
it is estimated that more or less 600 to 650
millions have obesity properly
said
I do not know if any condition that for the
who suffers it in addition to greatly altering its
quality of life and reduce its the
ability to enjoy many
daily activities of a high
impact on the life expectancy that
they are not obese they are more likely to be
Diabetics have a heart
myocardial cerebrovascular accidents and
there is talk about approximately one
Obese person live between 5 and 10
years less than the person who does not have
to say that obesity is a
condition like smoking that affects
the quality of life and the expectation of
life but but many times when
we talk about obesity especially
of children
one can perceive that there is a certain
sometimes benevolent look about this not
especially by grandparents
Regarding grandchildren or ourselves
when we have that can modify
some behavior of our children and we
we ask, we do not say we ‘re not
exaggerating will be for both
limit to endless house and at the end is a
boy and then it is nevertheless ordered today
it is known that children besides suffering
the same immediate consequences that
adults is to say children with
obesity have more risk of diabetes
they have more risk of hypertension though
look like something incredible
besides that the child who ends the
childhood to adolescence and then the
adulthood like that has very high chances
of staying did it for the rest
of their life
again obesity is a condition
that affects the quality of life and that
reduce years
then I wonder do not see in a
future the people who study
obesity
regarding eta
every time it is passive we have
he also calls us negligent komano
smoking parents
I think something has to change we have
to get some action and take
measures to reverse this situation already
that fortunately we have many
evidences that perhaps give us a
little the way but we have to
transit to work well clearly
we are experts in knowing what the
factors that favor the increase of
weight
there is a global consensus that in part
the over availability of food
especially those that are densely
energy and physical inactivity used
say every time we play minus two
factors are those that interacting between
yes they have pushed this global epidemic of
obesity but it is also known that
to correct this risk is to say
to prevent obesity the environment goes
to have to change since clearly
our response to that environment in the
street scale started in other changes
environmental issues that have occurred in the world
that fortunately happen and I am a
optimistic that one day the
environment will be better and there will be the
lower on food availability
and we are going to move a bit more but
any mental change takes time
occur and maybe in the meantime
while we continue strongly asking
that these changes happen
I think we should do something else
that an example of the times does not happen
as clear to be able to review the attitude
passive that we take and maybe if not
we should do something different
imagine for a moment that for the
door of his house he passed a street in the
which vehicles drive daily
very high speed on that street there is no
semaphores and speed reducers and not
there is no transit agent that
control compliance with the rules
as worried parents surely what
first thing we’re going to do is make a
called on the authorities to
reverse this situation let’s demand
what the traffic light
let’s demand that they modify the thief
de vido so that so many cars do not pass
per hour on this street but surely
also and that I’m sure
we are not going to be just like that until
both the authorities modify that
situation as parents we are going to take
other measures to imagine what they
we are going to teach our children to
to avoid crossing that street
to tell him that if they do they do it in
company of their parents or of an adult and
let’s teach them to look towards both
sides before crossing because it will be a
parent’s task
of course that is not going to lead to that
let’s stop claiming because it changes the
background problem
Meanwhile we have to
give tools to our children
so that they travel in the best way in
the environment that he has to live
he said it happens the same the environment in the
that our children are going to live and
he will possibly end his childhood
this current environment which exists
food availability
so we have to see what
tools we can strengthen in them
so that this environment of the
most effective way
There are multiple factors capable of
favor the prevention of obesity
in children and one of them that since
I want to comment is the ability to
get the ratification is only a
concept that you have heard many
they do not have much press but basically
the demonstrated ability the gratification
it has to do with being able to wait for a
little to get what I want
in today’s day that seems pretty
impossible or quite against the
culture of immediacy is this
concept was strengthened a lot to have
a series of studies that were done to
late 60’s in college
from Stanford where a scientist invited
Involve children five years
attend the nursery of this
college
basically the study was pretty
simple I invited the kids to
attended individually to a
room and has investigated the ce a
seemingly simple proposal but
that deep down we’re going to see that it’s not
It was both told I look good
I offer this candy a seafood is not
Say it the nice white things that
as Americans this guy if
you want you can eat it now without
But upload a while if for when
I come back you did not eat it then
prize I’ll give you this one that you have here
plus another one means if the boy
could wait for the scientist’s return
then instead of one I was going to have two
more I say it as a prize
you imagine that for a boy
five years two always better than one
for me it is also true and most
of the guys and not all said good
we hope how difficult it can be
this
what the children did not know and that
scientists to take 15 minutes to return
to watch a video of the adventures that
have to pass these little ones
While waiting for your reward now
[Music]
there it goes well
[Music]
[Music]
equality
[Music]
huelva can be a little bit what
[Music]
good as you see it was not easy and the
most of the guys against what
that the scientists themselves expected that
failure of the test only occurred
three out of ten children could
wait 15 minutes
it means to postpone the
ratification is quite complicated
this could stay here, not true, it’s very
well some guys have more
ability to postpone and others in
change tempt and good and can not stand
but nevertheless this study has a
lot of implication much more
Interesting
the first one is that as access to
the university in the late 60s
those guys were growing and it was
following over 40 years a lot
of things about his life he made the
studies simply depending on what
He passed through what was good in the
proof
and what happened to the rest of 70 by
percent that was not in the test and they
announced that they had infinity of
benefits that go beyond what
professional I put a little suspense
then I tell them
but before telling you the result the
students clarified that we are not
talking about banning a treat the
guys stop eating goodies
we can simply power
wait a few minutes before giving yourself a
like what we normally do or
we aspire between the prohibition oo us
let’s go to the other extreme the permissiveness
topics about these guys
good would it be that when they come to life
adult those who had been able to wait 15
minutes with respect to those who do not
they had better academic achievements in the
university had less use of drugs
they developed more tools for
face stress and what maybe more
complete in today’s talk they develop
lower body weight and say that know
how to pay the gratuity in part
prevents obesity
in this environment where currently
it seems that everything leads to
overconsumption and obviously poinsettia
we know that there is 30 percent
lucky to which he will do better than
others but back
this is not there after this study
of course the next question that
you are all in this moment
it also arose among scientists
good but this can be modified or is
something that touches us from the factory we can not
in this regard a study that was developed
ten years ago in a kindergarten
it’s a very simple test half of the
course was invited to participate in a
experience while the rest
continue doing his activities
everyday
the experience was very simple the boys
they have to attend for 30 minutes
three times a week to a class
special for a month
only that in that special house the only thing
What was done was to tell a story that
usually hovered around the
benefits of knowing how to wait and then
they exercised but always with
pencil paper drawings and a little time
and a totally cost effective measure
a month they will reassess the boys
depending on your ability to
postpone ratification and to
surprise of all those who have
participated for this experience by
simple others had a 60 percent
more than chances that they do well in
the test with respect to those who do not
had done it means that taught
especially in the preschool level
strategies to prevent to postpone
to make it effective from now would be
excellent that these join the
public school that be a message to
convey however I think that
nothing will work if we like
parents at home we do not do our part
There is a lot that we can contribute
first of all in our way of
relate to our children we have
to start teaching them to know
wait
it costs us a lot because we do not either
we know how to wait too
then when the demand arises
spontaneous sun food
something to buy something from going to be a
place we have not always known answer
quickly pronounced not to start
exercise the inside a little while later
I tell you maybe tomorrow the week that
comes and of course the most important
maybe another change to be inside
tomorrow some time next week to
what we promise a very analysis
interesting that this study came up is
that boys who did well had
the characteristic of being kids that
they generally trusted their parents or
they trusted the adults and this
maybe one of the main factors
that influenced that they knew how to wait
when the word the adult is not valid
we say that tomorrow we are going to
do something
we do not do it we give enormous value to
the opportunity boy does not know if tomorrow
let’s comply with what we said
so good as the saying goes
bird in hand is worth a hundred flying
now our children know that if
we do tomorrow tomorrow we are going to
comply
that has a huge power imagine the
power that has the impact that they have
these early experiences in the
formation of our behavior and then
of course being more practical
we can even in some games with
our children who are also going to
contribute to improve this is very
simple that surely all of you
boys played our children
surely it is not to complete an album of
figurines to complete an album of
figurines
everyone asks at home and they will see
that most children younger than
12 to 8 once and he does not like it too much
the exercise and the next
any day to invite them to
buy some adjustment that they will raise
what are the work rules going to be
without looking from time to time today maybe
tomorrow not passed if we are going to buy from
still from an envelope for you see a single envelope and
another to complete it in the time that we
I carried
if our children accept and we
we tolerated also waited to see what is
difficult because it goes to a demand for
buy 2 34 when you’re just one
neither so little time will we be
teaching that sometimes you can wait
of a gratification for the single fact
of waiting and when we started to see this
it goes well on any day like
totally if we currently use
this idea if this were totally
improvised we make a proposal that does not
can reject let’s say look today
the truth is that I’m a bit complicated
to buy a package promise you know
that if we wait until tomorrow
tomorrow will have a prize always to
buy an envelope forgiveness to buy five
envelopes and work that tells us that
our son decides what way he wants
111 and only one as we have promised
we will buy one and more problems
forward but it is likely that after
an internal struggle decides to wait until
the next day and when the day
next get five instead of one
for the first time will play there will be a
benefit for knowing how to wait
that is also the second teaching and the
third
the exercise also quite simple
it has to do with such tools
so that when they decide to wait they can
do it if they had the proof that
we were doing in the video
most of the guys were
obsessed with the kitchen they could not
take off the view to her did not smell her
they watched they tried to turn around
probably go to see her and it happened
but when someone has a desire for
something if not if it does not get the attention of
it being quite difficult to recover
we have to give them tools
our children so they can divert
the attention and occupying your attention
while they wait then when they
we say that in a while room is
a treat in that time try to
give them active to occupy the time not
there are written rules there are not many
studies neither about what is
the most effective measure but it is known that
when physical activity is a lot
better and even more if this activity does
Our company
the boys hope better occupy more the
attention and possibly later this one
lose interest when we were
a task that occupies your attention for a
as long as they are all pretty
simple that we can all do at home
or in the garden and yet to the day of
today we are not doing to reverse a
serious problem
we want our children to live a
full life and the reality is that in this
time that runs where the culture of
the immediacy will seem little guide
our way of relating to the
people and give this kind of tools
they seem to do a task that as parents
as educators we should not delegate the
ability to delay gratification
is a skill that favors them
favors the prevention of obesity
childish and more importantly it is a
true that we as parents can
stimulate our children can
develop
I think it’s worth it that we have
some time in our house to
do this and maybe in a future yes
we know how to wait for results and
parties
