Parents as Talent Developers: Essential Parenting Tools of Exceptional Parents (Campbell James Reed)(Pevná vazba)

Our purpose in writing this book is to give minority parents (African American, Latino) the tools they need to help their children perform much better in school. The content of the book comes from discovering actual parental practices used by minority families whose children excel at school. Our research teams went to public schools in minority neighborhoods in New York City and Long Island to find high-achieving minority children. We then visited their families and interviewed the parents and children separately to uncover what the parents did to warrant such high achievement. It is these minority parents who are the instructors in this book. We have talked with them, wrote down their stories, and extracted the parental practices that we call "kernels."
Kernels are seeds in the plant world. The kernels on an ear of corn are the seeds needed to grow the next generation of corn.
