The authors suggest a trifold approach todiscipline: showing love and affection, being involved withchildren and community, and providing correction andaccountability. Addressing preschoolers, school-age children,preadolescents, and teenagers, they clearly explain how to helpchildren deal with racism and how parenting is different forAfrican Americans. Many of the same strengths identified by Harris(e.g., community involvement, sense of heritage, affection, andhope) are reiterated here. Reference and resource lists areapprehended.
