How Children Succeed

English

By (author): Paul Tough

Why character, confidence, and curiosity are more important to your childs success than academic results. The New York Times bestseller. For all fans of Oliver James or Steve Biddulphs Raising Boys, Raising Girls, and The Complete Secrets of Happy Children.


In a world where academic success can seem all-important in deciding our childrens success in adult life, Paul Tough sees things very differently.

Instead of fixating on grades and exams, he argues that we, as parents, should be paying more attention to our childrens characters.

Inner resilience, a sense of curiosity, the hidden power of confidence - these are the most important things we can teach our children, because it is these qualities that will enable them to live happy, fulfilled and successful lives.

In this personal, thought-provoking and timely book, Paul Tough offers a clarion call to parents who are seeking to unlock their childs true potential and ensure they really succeed.
