How Children Succeed

Paul Tough

Childhood experiences often blend moments of joy with instances of hardship, even in homes where parents aim to provide a nurturing environment. Traumatic events, such as losing a parent or experiencing a family breakup, can leave lasting scars. The ACE questionnaire serves as a tool to measure the number of adverse experiences a child has faced, including abuse or household dysfunction. High ACE scores, indicating significant trauma, are closely tied to behavioral difficulties, such as trouble focusing, coping with setbacks, or engaging in bullying, and are strongly linked to delinquency—84% of juvenile detainees, for example, reported enduring at least two major adversities in childhood. The repercussions of such trauma persist into adulthood, contributing to chronic health problems like ischemic heart disease and fostering risky behaviors, illustrating the profound and enduring impact of early adversity.
