Low time preference is a term generally used in economics or evolutionary psychology to describe an individual that places emphasis on long-term gains, is able to delay gratification, make sacrifices, and live in an future oriented fashion.
On the contrary, high time preference describes placing focus on short term gains and ones satisfaction/happiness in the present or short-term future. I've used these terms to classify good and bad parenting strategies in the following video. A synopsis of my points can be viewed on my website:
