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.

I highly recommend this book for both African American parents and professionals who work with African American families. It's co-written by two mental health professionals and a parent, so different viewpoints are incorporated. It's an interesting read, and it provides some practical parenting strategies for raising healthy, happy children with strong African American identities. It also grapples with tough issues like the pros and cons of spanking, and preparing kids to deal with the racism they encounter.
