Stickin' To, Watchin' Over, and Gettin' With provides the guidance you need to protect your children from racist hostility while at the same time teaching them character and responsibility. Just as important, the book also shows how to discipline your children in a way that does not rely on spanking or other forms of painful coercion. Written by three African American educators, counselors, and parents, this book outlines an effective program for raising and disciplining your children: Stickin' To-- Offer your kids unconditional love and support. Watchin' Over-- Give children loving supervision and protection. Gettin' With-- Show youngsters loving confrontation and accountability. The authors also show how using their Cultural Pride Reinforcement (CPR) method can create a sense of pride in your children and help you develop a village of loving and supportive family members, ministers, teachers, coaches, mentors, and elders.
