“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

这位作者还真是颇有记者风范,没有辜负原来是记者的身份。这本书名字太有误导性,就如机场那种"改变你的人生"之流。这本书主要内容是报导了针对家庭条件不太好的孩子采取的一些措施。孩子如何能成功?作者的答案主要围绕政府如何改革教育。当然书里提到的一些心理学,行为学的研究多多少少可以借鉴。这本书应该压缩成杂志的特辑报道,不是出书来骗钱。

这是一本非常规的讲教育的书,对中国的家长和孩子尤其有教育意义,我们太注重cognitive skill,而忽视了character,这种缺失导致大学毕业生比例虽然增多,但也越来越平庸。英文难度:中上,主要是前面第一章讲了好多神经学和心理学上的术语。

十年前的书,所以讲的东西普及度已经很高了。我理解的在本书语境下的“成功”指的是帮助小孩(尤其是那些贫穷、生长于恶劣家庭环境的底层小孩)成长为经济独立、人际关系稳定、对自己的生活有掌控的成年人。这种成功与完成大学学业相关度很高,但完成大学学业不太依赖于绝对智力,更多依赖于以下几个因素:一是身体对压力有正常的应激反应,这需要婴幼儿时期照顾者给予安全感;二是前额叶发达,拥有较强的责任心或者说自律能力;三... 十年前的书,所以讲的东西普及度已经很高了。我理解的在本书语境下的“成功”指的是帮助小孩(尤其是那些贫穷、生长于恶劣家庭环境的底层小孩)成长为经济独立、人际关系稳定、对自己的生活有掌控的成年人。这种成功与完成大学学业相关度很高,但完成大学学业不太依赖于绝对智力,更多依赖于以下几个因素:一是身体对压力有正常的应激反应,这需要婴幼儿时期照顾者给予安全感;二是前额叶发达,拥有较强的责任心或者说自律能力;三是正确面对失败,或者说成长型思维方式。道理都不错,然而后半本书写到的一些案例让我感觉美国孩子总体还是过得过于轻松了...

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)。

这是一本我忍不住反复阅读的书。通过阅读这本书,我对自己有更深刻的理解,对于我和我的父母的关系又更深刻的理解,对于我和儿子的亲子关系更加笃定,也知道他未来会成为一个健康、善良、自律、有韧性的人。

很好一本教育方面的入门级书,尤其是美国教育行业。书名有些不准确,更多的是讲how to help children in poverty not to fail. 有一个良好的家庭环境对性格养成太重要了。close achievement gap是美国教育业经久不衰的话题,正如提高和重视学生的non cognitive skill这一话题在中国的热度。lots of effort & money,... 很好一本教育方面的入门级书,尤其是美国教育行业。书名有些不准确,更多的是讲how to help children in poverty not to fail. 有一个良好的家庭环境对性格养成太重要了。close achievement gap是美国教育业经久不衰的话题,正如提高和重视学生的non cognitive skill这一话题在中国的热度。lots of effort & money, no improvement.
