“Stickin’ To, Watchin’ Over, and Gettin’ With, is an exceptional tool for educating parents, new and seasoned, on the delicate subject of disciplining Black children. While struggling to find the best way to discipline my two year old, I was fortunate enough to have discovered this book.
Stickin’ To, Watchin’ Over, and Gettin’ With encourages parents not to attempt to change their children’s behavior, but to focus on changing their own behavior for successful discipline to occur.
In this book, parents will learn that they must be a disciplined parent in all areas that they expect their children to be disciplined in. For example, are you, as a parent always respectful of others? Are you, as a parent always patient? Are you, as a parent allowed to have your “moments,” while your child cannot?
This book asks parents to confront the mirror that is our children. Only when we are honest and gentle with ourselves, will we be able to teach effective discipline, rather than simply give ineffective punishment that can be detrimental. Read this book and learn the truth about the needs of Black children in regards to effective and loving discipline.” –Tamiko Johnson, co-owner, Marcus Books of San Francisco
