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 this book the author argues that the qualities that matter most have more to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism, and self-control. The book introduces us to a new generation of researchers and educators who, for the first time, are using the tools of science to peel back the mysteries of character. Through their stories, and the stories of the children they are trying to help, the author traces the links between childhood stress and life success. He uncovers the surprising ways in which parents do, and do not, prepare their children for adulthood. And he provides us with new insights into how to help children growing up in poverty. Early adversity, scientists have come to understand, can not only affect the conditions of children's lives, it can alter the physical development of their brains as well. But now educators and doctors around the country are using that knowledge to develop innovative interventions that allow children to overcome the constraints of poverty. And with the help of these new strategies, as the author's reporting makes clear, children who grow up in the most painful circumstances can go on to achieve amazing things. This book has the potential to change how we raise our children, how we run our schools, how we construct our social safety net and also to change our understanding of childhood itself. 000453954 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000453954 650_0 $$aEarly childhood education$$zUnited States. 000453954 650_0 $$aCognitive styles in children$$zUnited States. 000453954 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000453954 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTough, Paul.$$tHow children succeed.$$dBoston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2012$$z9780547564654$$w(DLC) 2012019000$$w(OCoLC)773669661 000453954 8520_ $$bacq 000453954 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000453954 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3304537$$zOnline Access 000453954 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453954$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453954 980__ $$aEBOOK 000453954 980__ $$aBIB 000453954 982__ $$aEbook 000453954 983__ $$aOnline
