The 8 Behaviors of Highly Successful Parents (Paperback). This item is unavailable.The 8 Behaviors of Highly Successful Parents (Paperback)

African American fathers and parents can make a difference and now is the time to act. As President Obama (2008) stated, “We need fathers to realize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception. That doesn’t just make you a father. What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child. Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father” (President Obama in Bosman, para. 12). I found 10 courageous fathers who were proudly taking on the responsibility of fatherhood as publicly mentioned by our president. If you are reading this book, then you are a critical partner in the reshaping of education of our children in this country. Whether you are a father, mother, teacher, principal, or advocate, you embody the courage it is going to take to make a difference in the life of a child. What has been missing in many of the lives of children is their father and active parenting. This book is calling for all fathers and parents to courageously become active in the lives of their children. With this book, you’ll read and learn from fathers who are making a difference in the lives of their children. Their testimonies can become strategies you can implement in your parenting practices and home structures. Each of the 8 Behaviors of Highly Successful Parents will equip and teach you how to interact with your children and increase their academic performance in school.
