This book is not only a must read for children. However, it can serve as a valuable source of information and reference for couples with children, and who may find value in its reference to parenting. There's no myth in the fact that within the African-American community, a lack of education is responsible for it rapidly decaying. Without intervention, there is little hope in reversing the current trends plaguing these communities, and our nation. What affects a few of us, affects all of America. Thus, in order for us to move forward as a nation, we must come together for this great cause. For the benefit of all Americans, the ultimate goal should be to educate, re-direct, and uplift the African-American community. Reading through chapter one The Pitfalls of the African-American Community, one can clearly see that it is rapidly decaying. For example; Black-on Black crime across America is rampant, out of control, and continues to be at an all-time high. In addition, the mass-incarceration of Black men continues to be disproportionate to that of other ethnic groups across America. Chapter four offers valuable information pertaining to career planning. Like education, career planning is a valuable component of success, and is the key to realizing the American dream. Couples who may be contemplating marriage will find value in chapter five The Financial Challenges of Marriage and in chapter six The Essence of Marital Reciprocity. Chapter seven reveals why ethnic loyalty is of the essence in the African-American community. While it emphasizes marrying someone of your own ethnic identity, it does not advocate alienation or separation. Chapter eight, Emancipation though Education, is included as a solution toward reversing the negative effects of black on black crime and subsequent, incarceration related to crimes such as drug dealing, bank robberies and other incriminating offenses.

In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff looks back to our ancestors for solutions to our failing modern-day parenting theories. When Dr Michaeleen Doucleff became a mother, she examined the studies behind modern parenting guidance and found that the evidence was frustratingly limited, and the conclusions often ineffective. She began to wonder if an opposite approach was needed - one founded on traditional wisdom, like the knowledge and experience passed down over hundreds, even thousands, of years within ancient cultures. With her young daughter in tow, she travelled across the world to observe and practice parenting strategies alongside families in three of the world's most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadza families in Tanzania. Dr Doucleff soon learned that these cultures don't have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop, built on co-operation instead of control; trust instead of fear; and personalised needs instead of standardised development milestones. In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff introduces us to families where parents help little ones learn to control their emotions and reduce tantrums by the parents themselves controlling their own frustrations; foster self-sufficiency by safely giving kids the autonomy to manage risks and explore their limits; and motivate children to help with chores without using bribes or threats. Doucleff also talks to psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how the tools and tips can impact children's mental health and development. . Packed with practical takeaways, Hunt, Gather, Parent helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for modern families.
