Promises Kept Raising Black Boys to Succeed in School and in Life【電子書籍】[ Dr. Joe Brewster ]
<p><strong>As seen on PBS’s <em>POV</em></strong></p> <p><em>An unprecedented guide to helping black boys achieve success at every stage of their livesーat home, at school, and in the world</em></p> <p>Regardless of how wealthy or poor their parents are, all black boys must confront and surmount the “achievement gap”: a divide that shows up not only in our sons’ test scores, but in their social and emotional development, their physical well-being, and their outlook on life. As children, they score as high on cognitive tests as their peers, but at some point, the gap emerges. Why?</p> <p>This is the question Joe Brewster, M.D., and Mich?le Stephenson asked when their own son, Idris, began struggling in a new school. As they filmed his experiences for their award-winning documentary <em>American Promise,</em> they met an array of researchers who had not only identified the reasons for the gap, but had come up with practical, innovative solutions to close it. In <em>Promises Kept,</em> they explain</p> <p>? how to influence your son’s brain <em>before</em> he’s even born<br /> ? how to tell the difference between <em>authoritarian</em> and <em>authoritative</em> disciplineーand why it matters<br /> ? how to create an educational program for your son that matches his needs<br /> ? how to prepare him for explicit and implicit racism in school and in the wider world<br /> ? how to help your child develop resilience, self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and a positive outlook that will last a lifetime</p> <p>Filled with innovative research, practical strategies, and the voices of parents and children who are grappling with these issues firsthand, <em>Promises Kept</em> will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to make sure your child isn’t lost in the gap.</p> <p><strong>Praise for <em>Promises Kept</em></strong></p> <p>“The authors offer a plethora of information and advice geared toward the specific developmental needs of black boys. . . . Thorough and detailed, this guidebook is also a call to action. As Brewster sees it, when people of color remain complacent, they not only break a tacit promise to future generations to achieve social equity, they also imperil the futures of both the nation and the planet. A practical and impassioned parenting guide.”<strong>ー<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p> <p>“A penetrating look at the standard practices, at school and at home, that contribute to the achievement gap between the races and the sexes that seems to put black boys at a disadvantage. [Brewster and Stephenson] debunk myths and offer ten parenting and education strategies to improve the prospects for black boys to help them overcome racial stereotypes and low expectations. . . . This is a practical and insightful look at the particular challenges of raising black males.”<strong>ー<em>Booklist</em></strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
