“Drop the flashcards—grit, character, and curiosity matter even more than cognitive skills. A persuasive wake-up call.”—People
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.
“Illuminates the extremes of American childhood: for rich kids, a safety net drawn so tight it’s a harness; for poor kids, almost nothing to break their fall.”—New York Times
“I learned so much reading this book and I came away full of hope about how we can make life better for all kinds of kids.”—Slate

南辕北辙的教育扶贫梦(兼论进步主义教育的正确打开方式)
技能和性格哪个更重要?
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
我也曾像书中的赫克曼一样,深信技能是决定一个人未来生活最可靠的因素,因此总是不遗余力的规劝我亲近的人去学习这个,学习那个。可是我发现,规劝的力量是不够的。能不能“内化”这些技能才真正有意义。有些人天赋很高,起点不错,可是他们浪费了与生俱来的天赋,一点儿小困... (展开)决定孩子一生的不是成绩,而是品格
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
看完这本书后,心中很是感叹。 毫不客气地说,如今国内的传统教育一片浮躁。 无数家长、老师整天在耳边呱噪,要好好学习,要好好读书。至于品格,管他什么东西,耽误时间,去一边的吧。 考上985、211,然后找个好工作,挣很多的钱,让很多人羡慕。比起别人来,人生就“成功”了... (展开)只要记住安全型依恋的重要性,这本书就不算白读

not the advice/tips type of parenting book. elizabeth spiegel is my favorite. yes, you need to stare at your mistake in order to grow. i guess i am never short of courage.

读完了对养娃有一些指导作用。但是,理论怎么能变成实践还是有很长的路要走。(有时候我会觉得,读了那么多书,还是养不好娃)。

前2/3不错。后1/3内容有点稀,不给力。
