Shepherding children through the demanding years of adolescence can be a struggle for any parent. But black parents must also help their children confront the psychological fallout of racism. With this in mind, Dr. Jaine Ward, who spent fifteen years researching the moral and psychological development of African-American boys and girls, offers parents a comprehensive four-step program - Name it, Read it, Oppose it, Replace it - that provides strategies for healthy resistance to negative social influences and complacency in children throughout the formative years. Ward offers parents advice on a variety of topics to help in dealing with adolescents.
