The article focuses on early childhood education and parenting programs as the most effective way to address poverty in the U.S. Paul Tough, author of the book "How Children Succeed," states that in addressing poverty, one can not talk just about welfare or tax policy but must consider culture and character. Tough cites the story of Kewauna Lerma, a girl from Chicago, Illinois, which underscores that strengthening the country means investing in its children.
