Summary: A GOOD BOOK TO HAVE
Comment: This book reflects upon various issues which affect the African American parental experience. Even though it brings light to the everyday subjects that are discussed in most parental books, it takes the same approach as Dr. Spock's baby & childcare books. The authors of this book are very knowledgeable professionals. This is a good book to have in your parenting collection.

Summary: Excellent!
Comment: Dr. Anne Beal is my 9 month old son's pediatrician. She is fabulous! She is not only knowledgeable, but very compassionate. I am a white woman. My husband and son are both white. Although, this book is titled "The Black Parenting Book", it is an excellent guide for all parents. I purchased the book mainly because Dr. Beal is our pediatrician, but I find myself using it for reference quite often. I can't stress enough how wonderful Dr. Beal is as a doctor and how well-written and helpful this book is.

Summary: Written with our cultural dynamics in mind...
Comment: I'm the mother of a 2-year-old, and although the other books on the market had info, it didn't address my concerns about explaining racism, different hair textures, and other things that affect Blacks uniquely and color our view of the world. It has a caring, authoritative tone that's never condescending, and touches on most modern issues. Although I wish it had discussed other issues,(i.e.,the "raise-the-daughters-and-spoil-the-sons" phenomenon that occurs in our community all too often), it answered more of my questions that I thought possible from one source. If you are a first-time parent, or if you're feeling "rusty", this book is the answer. If knowledge is power,then this book is the ATOMIC BOMB!!!
