Launching Our Black Children for Success: a Guide for Parents of Kids from Three to Eighteen - Book Review

(Jossey-Bass, a Wiley imprint, $17.95) by Joyce A. Ladner and Theresa Foy DiGeronimo, with a foreword by Alvin F. Poussaint, M.D., takes parents step-by-step through the stages of child development to show them how to build a solid foundation for success. The book tackles difficult and challenging issues such as drugs, violence and negative media, and how parents can explain them to children.

Stressing the importance of positive parenting skills, the authors show why family values, education, role models, and networking are keys to driving a child's success--no matter which career path he/she chooses.
