Child raised well is notable
achievement
Townhall – Marybeth Hicks –

Perhaps the best book on
parenting in this way is not actually a parenting book at all, but is Paul
Tough’s sociological study of children’s character. In “HOW CHILDREN SUCCEED:
GRIT, CURIOSITY, AND THE HIDDEN POWER OF CHARACTER,” Mr. Tough reveals that
American children — even those mired in poverty and without the advantages of
suburban “helicopter parents” — are able to achieve ultimate success not
because of what they have or how they do things, but because of who they are.
Mr. Tough’s book confirms
what we writer-moms keep saying in column after column, blog after blog: It’s
who we are that defines what we do with our lives.
Our kids deserve to learn
this — the hard way — which is the only way there is.
