Helping Children Succeed by Paul Tough
What Works and Why
Synthesizing neuroscience, social-science research, and on-the-ground program examples, the book argues that children’s success depends as much on character and executive-function skills (self-control, persistence, curiosity) as on IQ, and that poverty and toxic stress erode those capacities; it calls for early, targeted supports for families and schools, practical interventions to build noncognitive skills and reduce stress, and policy shifts to scale evidence-based, whole-child approaches that foster resilience and long-term opportunity.
