Summary

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 test scores, but in social and emotional development, their physical well-being, and their outlook on life. The authors 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. Here they explain: how to influence your son's brain before he's even born; how to tell the difference between authoritarian and authoritative discipline--and why it matters; how to create an educational program for your son that matches his needs; how to prepare him for explicit and implicit racism in school and in the wider world; how to help your child develop resilience, self-discipline, emotional intelligence, and a positive outlook that will last a lifetime
