I give my children marbles for various good behaviors such as being obedient the first time I ask them to do something, being cooperative with chores, being extra nice, etc. After they fill their jar, they get to exchange their full jar for a prize worth $2-3.
Well, Audrey wanted this tiara, and it was $5+. I informed her we could get it, but she would have to wait to get another jar of marbles before she could play with it. She agreed. She never complained. She never tried to get it sooner. She knew perfectly well when she would get it. This isn't the first time she's had to use two jars of marbles either. I'm impressed her ability to delay gratification.

She looks so cute! I'm impressed with her ability to wait patiently for what she really wants!
