How children succeed
Book • 2012
In 'How Children Succeed', Paul Tough challenges the conventional wisdom that success is primarily determined by cognitive abilities.
Drawing on research in neuroscience, economics, and psychology, Tough argues that non-cognitive skills such as grit, curiosity, conscientiousness, and optimism are crucial for a child's success.
The book introduces readers to new research and personal stories of children overcoming adversity, highlighting the importance of early childhood and adolescent interventions in developing these character strengths.
Tough also discusses the role of parents, schools, and mentors in teaching and reinforcing these skills, and how programs like OneGoal are making a significant impact on the lives of underprivileged students.
