Author(s):
Paul Tough

In this book American journalist Tough encourages readers to rethink the challenges of childhood. He suggests that rather than trying to ‘teach’ skills like grit and self-control, schools and parents should instead focus on creating an environment in which those qualities are most likely to flourish.

Drawing on the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, Tough provides insights and strategies for a new approach to childhood adversity, one designed to help more children succeed.
