Boyce and Large

Both writers advocate that true learning and success comes from within. Large believes that if you want success, then you have to build up the child's character. This is done by the parents showing affection for the child from a young age, and then, when the child gets older, allowing the child to face challenges. He says that the child needs to face challenges to improve themselves, but this can cause stress which can have adverse affects, so the parents should provide support as the kid faces the challenge. This allows the kid to improve and to begin to build their character with their own experiences. Boyce believes that children need to learn life skills to succeed in life, besides just getting good grades. he says that this can be done by using ones inherent mindfulness. He says that taking time to think away from yourself can help you deal with almost any situation and will usually result in success. He has studies going on at different schools and says that yoga can be a way to help calm and prepare yourself. Both writers focus more on the ability of having a strong mind and good character than the actual learning of information because they believe that if you have those characteristics, then the rest will follow.
