Psychologists study both normal and abnormal development. Much is known about normal, healthy development as well as about problems in development and how I ' 10 ireai mem. Many books have been written to provide guidelines for parents on hoW lo rear theii^ehildren. Until recently, however, these books were intended for middle-class white parents. No guides existed for black parents, unless they wanted to completely accept the white middle-class way of life. Two black psychiatrists, Dr. James Comer of Yale University, and Dr. Alvin Poussaint of Harvard, liave written a book especially for black parents. It is called Black Child Care, and is available in inexpensive paperback as well as hardback. Black Child Care covers development from infancy through the teen-age years. It is written in an easy to read question-and-answer format. The questions are haseH nn those the authors often heard from black parents. Comer and Poussaint believe that all children are similar in some ways, but that rearing a healthy black child in a racist society requires some special effort on the part of black parents. Many of the questions in the book deal with the special problems of the black child in a white-dominated society. Practical Information is also given about other aspects of development such as language, discipline, morality, and education. For example, one question and answer presented in the book reads as follows: "Do black teen-agers generally have less respect for their parents than is shown by adolescents in other groups?" Answer: "No. In fact, respect for authority and parents remains very strong among many black youngsters. Sometimes, however, depending on where they live and the social class of the family, black children may see their parents as helpless because of racist oppression in our society. Thus a black child's sense of protection and security from his mother and father might be diminished. Nevertheless, parents who respect themselves are likely to gain the respect of their children." c We are not advocating that parents rear their children "by the book". There is a need, however, for us to find ways to develop the very best qualities in our children. At times all parents encounter some difficult situations with their children, and need to understand what is happening with their child, or with themselves, as parents. This book does provide black parents with a link to the professional opinions of two black psychiatrists, and such sources are scarce in most m v communities. We do not agree with everything Comer and Poussaint say. We suggest that you read and think about what they have to say. You, too, will find many good usable suggestions and some points with which you disagree. u : * J n~ x ?i. r? t-1?1_ n is liupuiidiii, aa vuiucl auu ruuswini poiiu uui, lur uidtR parents to think for themselves. Black Child Care is not intended to, and does not, give all the answers to questions of effective child-rearing. It is a practical guide for black parents to use along with their own common sense. j Our children are our most valuable asset. We must direct much effort toward rearing them to be strong and proud black men and women. Elaine Lyncii Diane S. Patterson
