Publisher's Summary:

How Children Succeed by Paul Tough is a journalistic review of the most recent research connecting success in adulthood with character development in childhood and the programs that use character to motivate and teach low-performing children to become high achievers. Most school curricula and measures of future success for children are historically rooted in cognitive indicators like math ability, language skills, and critical thinking. While those indicators are significant factors in future success, even children who score high in cognitive indicators struggle if they have low noncognitive indicator scores. Noncognitive indicators, including conscientiousness and grit, are also known as character traits.

âEUREKA BOOKS PROVIDES A VALUABLE SERVICE"

This is an overview of the actual book "How Children Succeed" itself. Kind of like a Cliff's Notes for the full book. It provides a potential reader enough information regarding this bookâs plots, characters and content to determine if we want to invest the extra money and time to actually buy and read the entire book. As an avid reader I have personally found âEureka Booksâ to be a very helpful and valuable service. (BTW ... I bought and read the full book about a year ago myself ... rated it 5-STAR on Amazon and noted that an overwhelming number of viewers also rated it very high. I think the book should be a mandatory read for all prospective parents.)

Great for parents! I recommend to my daddy friends

Great review, much like Sparknotes, but better. "How Children Succeed" explores the principles of how children develop, and this review includes a summary of Tough's great book. A great read for prospective parents, because it breaks down the key takeaways of Tough's book into snippets. As a parent of a toddler, its hard to find time for anything besides vegging on the couch. And reading all the advice out there on parenting doesn't sound like a lot of fun. But this review from Eureka Books was impressive, and fit into my crazy life.

I would recommend to all parents who want the best for their kids, even if they don't have enough time for a NYT Bestseller right now.

Powerful message!

Gets to the point. I prefer to cut to the chase. Recommend to parents and educators. Good message. Definitely something to think about.

I will take this.

Helpful and useful takeaways!

For school

School required text leaned a lot.
