Launching Our Black Children for Success: A Guide for Parents of Kids from Three to Eighteen
Launching Our Black Children for Success is a groundbreaking book that goes beyond the typical "how to get your kid into the best school or college" advice. This extraordinary book takes black parents step-by-step through the stages of child development so they can build a solid foundation for success in their children. It shows how to best instill pride, self-discipline, social skills, a work ethic, and a way to deal with the inevitable racism and prejudice their children will face. Authors Joyce Ladner and Theresa Foy DiGeronimo also offer a practical guide for overcoming the many injustices and obstacles African American families face and show how to shepherd their kids through the process that is required to help children keep their "eyes on the prize." Launching Our Black Children for Success helps parents to provide the strength and the strategies their children need to seek out whatever career they dream of and deserve.

This book is a welcomed addition to the many projects on the development of children and youth. Of course, this book is one of the best I have read on launching our children for sucess. I will use this book in my undergraduate and graduate classes in Educational Psychology. It will provide helpful information for teachers, counselors, administrators and parents. The authors have provided some effective strategies in promoting success in children and youth. I commend the authors for their scholarly efforts and practical advice.
