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

Paul Tough's "How Children Succeed" is pretty amazing. I'm early on in the book and Tough is talking about how early childhood trauma affects development of the frontal cortex. I keep thinking of how the career exploration process that can be so healing for students who have had trauma and find it difficult to control their impulses. Tough writes about a preschool that allows children to write their goals for play every morning. Career Guidance allows students an opportunity to create daily and long term goals, to explore, and consider who they are as learners.
