How Children Succeed

I have tremendously enjoyed reading the book How Children Succeed.  Both as a parent and as an educator I am regularly asking myself what do kids need to make it in the world? Are they receiving all the opportunities and life experiences to succeed in whatever they choose to do?  What exactly do children need in both cognitive and non-cognitive abilities to move through adversity to success?
Paul Tough weaves his way through current research in neuroscience, psychology and education reform to shed light on what the experts are saying about character and child development.  I highly recommend this book to any person working with children of all ages and parents trying to navigate the difficult waters of raising children of character and resilience.
