Why character, self-confidence, and curiosity are more important for your child's success than academic results. The New York Times bestseller. It is aimed at all fans of Oliver James or Steve Biddulph and their books "Raising Boys", "Raising Girls" and "The Complete Secrets of Happy Children". In a world where academic success seems to be everything for our children's success in life, Paul Tough sees things very differently. Instead of focusing on grades and exams, he argues that as parents we should pay more attention to our children's characters. Inner resilience, a sense of curiosity, the hidden strength of self-confidence - these are the most important values we can teach our children, as they are what will allow them to lead happy, fulfilled, and successful lives. In this personal, provocative, and timely book, Paul Tough offers a call to parents seeking to unleash their child's true potential - and ensure that they truly succeed.
