From Roots To Wings: Successful Parenting African American Style

This book blends theoretical insights with practical advice, acknowledging the distinct challenges African American parents face and offering effective parenting strategies to address them. While peer pressure, television, and rap music exert significant influence on today’s black youth, the book contends that parental engagement is more impactful. Through case studies and research, it examines the effectiveness of strategies such as setting expectations, active listening, goal-setting, effective time management, promoting nutrition, emphasizing academics and grades, maintaining consistency, integrating prayer, and dedicating quality time in nurturing strong black families.
