Why do kids—and even adults—struggle to resist temptation, even when they “know better”? Because knowledge isn’t enough. In this episode, Instructor Mike breaks down the physics of temptation using real-life metaphors like magnets, rubber bands, and even nuclear bombs. You’ll learn why proximity builds pressure, how impulse control is shaped by setup, and why walking away early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

From toddlers eyeing candy to preteens navigating peer pressure, you’ll get developmentally appropriate tools to teach self-discipline, emotional regulation, and real-world problem-solving.

Key Takeaways:

• How proximity turns potential energy into action

• Why verbal rules aren’t enough without environment training

• Rubber band and role-play strategies for young learners

• Conversation tools for older kids to build internal boundaries

• The truth about temptation: you don’t win it in the moment—you win it in the setup
