How Children Succeed by Paul Tough

Why do some children succeed while others fail?

The story we usually tell about childhood and success is the one about intelligence: Success comes to those who score highest on tests, from preschool admissions to SATs.

But in "How Children Succeed," Paul Tough argues for a very different understanding of what makes a successful child. Drawing on groundbreaking research in neuroscience, economics, and psychology, Tough shows that the qualities that matter most have less to do with IQ and more to do with character: skills like grit, curiosity, conscientiousness, and optimism.

"How Children Succeed" introduces us to a new generation of scientists and educators who are radically changing our understanding of how children develop character, how they learn to think, and how they overcome adversity. It tells the personal stories of young people struggling to say on the right side of the line between success and failure. And it argues for a new way of thinking about how best to steer an individual child – or a whole generation of children – toward a successful future.

This provocative and profoundly hopeful book will not only inspire and engage readers; it will also change our understanding of childhood itself.

Children are Special!!!

Sometimes life is tough. Children are at times a trial. Special needs children are even more so. Dealing with the daily struggles of teaching a child with special needs can be more than a lot of parents are prepared to do, yet every single parent of a special needs child seems to do just that. They are miracle workers with their children. They are the staunchest supporters of their children  They fight battles that would make most people curl up in the fetal position and start crying. And why do they do that? I'll tell you why, they do it for their CHILDREN!

They are the Mother Warriors!!! 

And in my book unsung heroes...
