Journalist Paul Tough discusses what he believes creates successful children, looking at why some succeed and others fail and how to move individual children toward their full potential for success. Tough traces the links between childhood stress and life success. He uncovers the ways in which parents do—and do not—prepare their children for adulthood. And he provides new insights into how to help children growing up in poverty.
