How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character

I wonder what research or experiences led Paul Tough to emphasize these qualities over traditional measures of intelligence. Did the author see a particular shift in education that prompted this approach?

While the ideas are inspiring, I struggled to see how some strategies translate into real-world classroom or parenting situations. Would love to hear others' thoughts on practical applications.

This book makes a compelling case, but I wonder if policymakers are ready to prioritize character qualities as much as test scores. What changes might we see in schools as a result?
