●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 that the qualities that matter more have to do with character: skills like perseverance, curiosity, optimism, and self-control. How Children Succeed 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—Tough reveals how this new knowledge can transform young people’s lives. 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 improve the lives of children growing up in poverty. This provocative and profoundly hopeful book will not only inspire and engage readers, it will also change our understanding of childhood itself. ●2012年英美兒童教養類暢銷書 ●美國與台灣教育部長推薦 ●台灣教育學界、親子教養作家、國家教育院、全國教師協會、家長協會一致推薦 ●全新教養觀念，幫助孩子成長茁壯 ●為什麼有些孩子長大後能夠成功，有些卻不能？童年經驗對一個人未來的形塑有什麼關鍵性影響？我們要如何教養孩子，才能真正讓孩子未來一生受益？我們要如何幫助孩子培養好習慣，為成年做好準備 貝爾經濟學獎得主赫克曼 + 哈佛、芝加哥大學最新研究 ●本書將徹底改變我們養育孩子的方式！
