As a former kindergarten teacher I know how important play-based learning is for students. So many overlapping skills engaged during this experience. I love this Dr. Rachel Edoho-Eket.

In the marshmallow test, children's ability to resist immediate temptation for a greater reward later is evaluated. In a variation of the test, children were promised a better reward for waiting, but some were let down when the promised reward didn't materialize. This experience influenced their behavior in a subsequent test: those who lost trust in the fairness of the system were more likely to give in to immediate gratification and eat the marshmallow right away, while those who had experienced fairness were more inclined to wait. This illustrates that when individuals perceive their environment as unfair or untrustworthy, they are more likely to prioritize immediate rewards over long-term gains. Expanding this insight to broader societal contexts, it suggests that in societies where individuals perceive inequity in the distribution of rewards or recognition for their efforts, they may lose confidence in the system. When people feel that their hard work or contributions are not appropriately acknowledged or rewarded, they may become disillusioned and less motivated to invest in long-term goals or to engage in behaviors that benefit the greater community. This lack of trust and motivation can ultimately hinder societal progress and development, as individuals may become less inclined to cooperate or innovate in a system they perceive as unjust. Therefore, fostering a sense of fairness and equity in societal systems is crucial for maintaining trust, motivation, and progress.

𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤-𝐭𝐨-𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐡 As anticipated, the back-to-school season has brought a whirlwind of activity to our hypermarket. Parents and kids have flocked in large numbers, filling their trolleys with school essentials. From bulk shoppers juggling multiple trolleys to families excitedly picking out the perfect backpack, the energy has been palpable. At my cash counter, the sight of several trolleys lined up has become a familiar one. It's been a hectic couple of days, working tirelessly to keep the queues moving and ensuring every customer leaves with a smile. The teamwork and dedication of my colleagues have been truly inspiring. Reflecting on the past few days, I'm proud of the effort we've put in to create a seamless shopping experience. From early morning stock checks to late-night cleanups, every task has been a step towards making this back-to-school season special for our community. A Salute to Teachers As we prepare for the new school year, let's not forget the incredible teachers who are also gearing up for the return of their students. They are busy decorating classrooms, planning lessons, and ensuring that every child feels welcomed and excited to learn. Their dedication and passion are the backbone of our education system, and they deserve our utmost respect and gratitude. As the kids head back to school, I want to take a moment to appreciate the hard work and resilience of my fellow team members and the teachers. Together, we've turned a challenging period into an opportunity to shine. Here's to the parents, the kids, the teachers, and my incredible colleagues—thank you for making this back-to-school season a memorable one.

This time of year, many kids go to summer camp to engage in activities that mostly ends up being a lot of sunburn, athlete's foot, 60's-70's art and esoteric chants. What if instead camps concentrated on vocational skills starting at age 5? While you could call Chick-fil-A Restaurants Camp a "labor camp," it is more like child labor-in-training. Groom your kids to be workers among workers with fundamentals taught by professionals: Dining room hosting & customer service skills How to take an order How to bag an order And to make it fun making your own Ice Dream cone or cup! Plus, comes with a kids meal, T-shirt, name tag and snack and consists of various activities like spending time with the Chick-fil-A Cow. While the dining room seats are filling up fast, not sure about the camp's vacancy. https://lnkd.in/e2-isku4

Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I (a self-respecting, 2nd generation New Yorker) got here (taking selfies with a billboard in the middle of Times Square). Ngl, the billboards hit different when they’re yours 😏 🧡 🌶 Today Chili Piper had the biggest launch in our history—what we’re calling our Demand Conversion Platform—and, I have to admit, there’s no more iconic place to celebrate then right down on 42nd street. And it’s true: we do love people! DCP creates a seamless bridge between marketing and sales, all on a single unified platform with chat, lead distribution, form routing, scheduling, and SDR-to-AE handoff. Why? So that revenue teams are empowered to do what they do best: build genuine connections with customers and put the humanity back into human interactions. As a People-person who is part of a people-loving company, I could not be more excited or proud of every single Piper who worked so tirelessly over the past few years to get to today. From my internal role, I can confirm the literal blood, sweat, and tears that went into DCP. It’s truly a labor of love, and we’re just getting started ✨ 🚀 ✨ Join in on the celebration and learn more about DCP here: https://lnkd.in/eb92eS-d

🌟 Walk the Talk: Teaching Integrity Through Action.🌟 On a bustling morning, Sarah, a busy parent, found herself rushing to drop her child off at school before heading to work. Pressed for time, she decided to grab a quick snack for her child from a nearby store. In the midst of the haste, Sarah noticed that the cashier had given her change for a larger denomination. Now, the easy route was tempting – just drive off, right? 🚗💰Although tempted to simply drive away, Sarah, who consistently emphasized the values of honesty to her child, took a moment to reflect. Recognizing the opportunity to instill a crucial lesson, she turned the car around, returned to the store, and returned the extra money. In the realm of parenting, Sarah's actions spoke volumes about the importance of integrity and setting a positive example. Her decision to prioritize honesty over convenience demonstrated the principle that actions are more impactful than words, reinforcing the values she sought to instill in her child.🚶♀️💙 In reflecting on this experience, I'm reminded of the profound words of Robert Fulghum: "Don't worry that children are not listening to you, but worry that they are observing you." Let's keep inspiring the next generation, one honest action at a time. Remember, in our professional and personal lives, leading with integrity creates a ripple effect! 🌊✨ #LeadingByExample #IntegrityMatters #ParentingJourney #ProfessionalValues #Honesty #LifeLessons
