Helping children succeed
Book • 2016
Helping Children Succeed explores the crucial role of non-cognitive skills, such as grit and perseverance, in shaping a child's future.
Paul Tough argues that these character strengths are more important than intelligence or test scores for long-term success.
The book draws on research in psychology and neuroscience to demonstrate how these skills develop and how parents and educators can foster them.
He emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments that encourage children to embrace challenges and learn from failure.
Through compelling stories and practical advice, the book offers a roadmap for helping children thrive in an increasingly complex world.
It also highlights the significance of addressing social and economic disparities that can hinder the development of these essential skills.
