@campolifamCan you challenge lol ##poseathome ##candychallenge ##cookinghacks
The premise of this challenge is quite simple: a parent puts a tempting snack in front of their kid and then tells them they can have some. But of course, there is a twist. The kid has to wait a minute or under while the parent steps out of the room. This cute challenge tests willpower, patience, and obedience, three things that toddlers are not particularly known for. The unexpected twist is what makes it so funny and why the challenge is taking over social media.

Two-year-old Ada James is the second daughter of Thomas Rett and Lauren Akins, and her reactions will also be the sweetest thing you will see on the internet.
Her eyes sparkle brightly when her eyes set upon the luscious bowl of candies in front of her
For Ada, these candies are more precious than gold. And just like any other kids, she naturally made beeline for the candies.
However, she quickly takes back her hand when her mom said “Here’s the deal” and explains the mechanics. She is all ears to her mom like the good girl that she is.
The Fruit Snack Challenge goes way back to 1972
Psychologist Walter Mischel invented the Marshmallow Test with his team at Stanford University in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The experiment was meant to examine the concept of self-control in children under five years old, to see whether they could override the impulse for instant gratification if they were promised a richer reward for waiting, using marshmallows. If they truly couldn’t wait, the kid could ring a bell and claim their single marshmallow instantly.
Ada is so BERY patient
Just the sight of the candies made pretty Ada giggle. She continues to stare at it as saliva starts to pool in her mouth. The struggle is real as she cheers for herself internally saying “you can do this!” So she lets herself blow invisible specks of dust. Then she pushes the bowl away and told herself the magic words “Bery patient”.
She pulls the bowl back closer to her, afraid anyone might steal it. She ends up impressing everyone with the singing prowess she got from her dad as she sings peekaboo in her most charming voice. These little gestures will give anyone mini heart attacks for they can’t handle her cuteness.
In the end, beautiful Ada proves that patience is the sweetest virtue when she ends up victorious in this challenge.
