Willpower alone is not enough

Willpower alone isn’t what makes children successful—it often fails long-term. New research is showing that successful people don't necessarily have more willpower, they just organise their lives so they can avoid temptations.

So what can parents do? The answer is to reduce temptations and design environments for

good choices as children can learn to enjoy healthy habits if exposure is positive and consistent.
