Smart Parenting for African Americans
by Jeffrey Gardere, Ph.D

Description

In Smart Parenting for African Americans, Dr. Jeffrey Gardere presents a savvy, realistic guide for today's black parents. He takes an honest look at the problems their children face and stresses the importance of strong parent-child communication for fostering self-esteem.

He also provides the tools parents need to give their sons and daughters a head start in the earliest years, help them get the most out of school, and cope with the turbulent teen years. Plus, there's sobering advice on keeping children safe from sexual predators and on handling a confrontation with the police.

Here is a sensitive, no-nonsense approach to raising black children that will show parents how to be a source of support, love, and protection for their kids -- giving them the foundation they need to flourish for the rest of their lives.

Includes a chapter on how to talk with your child about war and disasters.
