Helping Children Succeed: What Works and Why by Paul Tough

informative fast-paced

4.0

Enjoyed! A very quick, digestible read. I never read it through during undergrad when it was assigned so I don’t have anything now that it applies to in particular now but it’s always interesting as a nonprofit worker (and at a nonprofit focused on evidence based models) to read about evidence-based models used by (or that could be used by) nonprofits in other subject areas. The nonprofit industrial complex can be fraught, and it’s heartening to read about approaches (and groups studying/implementing those/new approaches) that can make meaningful, proactive differences, rather than simply attempting to ameliorate the effects of existing social inadequacies.
