Languages : en
Pages : 54

Book Description
We typically think of instilling respect, love and courteousness into our kids, which is great and needed. However, John Martin Sr. goes a different route with this book. His reflection of conversations over the span of 20 years, raising his son, a young African- American male, created more of a creative challenge. He realized quickly that his serious task of molding a responsible human being, was to ingest as much self-esteem as possible into his son. These conversations spark dialogue that focuses on being self-aware and knowing your strengths and weaknesses. John offers great insight from dealing with being a young parent and making sure the communication stays a two-way street, to dealing with emotions and how to discipline yourself at a young age. Any serious parent can gain from this writing and add these conversations to their dinner table.
