Patience is important to be able to reach long-dated goals in the future. That means that patience is also crucial for success and health. And not only for adults – patience plays an important role especially for children and their educational career. Why is it this way and how can you learn to be more patient?
These are the questions which are at the center of the lecture by Matthias Sutter. He will introduce current research results and show how interventions by the educational policy can support behavior that is future-oriented.
