How Children Succeed (with Paul Tough)

Paul Tough (journalist and author of The Years That Matter Most) walks us through his research on both early childhood and higher education, and how we can set our children up for success at various points of their development. “We can help our kids learn how to how to learn from their failures, how to bounce back from setbacks, but also how to consider others in the same way that we think about ourselves--not to see the world as this competition for scarce resources, but us as a world in which when we work together, we all do better.” Follow Paul on Twitter and Facebook www.paultough.com  Vistaprint - promo code GOODKIDS Lola - promo code GOODKIDS Everlane.com/goodkids myBillie.com/goodkids To keep the conversation going about this episode, find us on Flick.

We get better instructions for putting together furniture than we do for raising actual human beings. And that doesn’t even account for how to do it amid a global pandemic and civil/political unrest. That’s why Season 2 of Good Kids features a compelling mix of perspectives on child-rearing — from parents and experts, authors and actors, to "good" kids themselves — imparting wisdom for a brief, but potent, 10(ish) minutes each week. Good Kids isn’t just another parenting podcast. It’s an all-hands-on-deck discussion about what we can do to help children create a better world. Collectively.
