By Joseph A. Bailey II MD, FACS
If "game day" is played in the stadium and preparation is done on the practice field, then Preparing To Prepare is what is done in the locker room to properly get ready for both. In other words, Preparing To Prepare is like the underground foundation of a skyscraper building and the base upon which that foundation rests. This foundation and base are required regardless of what career a child enters as well as in having good relations with and behaviors towards other people.

By Shellie Sampson Jr., Ph.D.
Do African American urban youth really possess the desire to live a life full of achievements? The Motivated Life shares a composite picture of the social and educational journey of a few urban male students and their step-by-step challenges as they reach for success in a fast track world. Shellie Sampson Jr., Ph.D., a former headmaster in an urban school, discusses the dynamics of goal-setting concepts while relying on the recent research of scholars as well as his own research conducted at an urban school in a major city. While sharing the results of a comprehensive study that included high school counselors, administrators, and African American male students, Dr. Sampson provides strategic information that will help others move their lives to more productive levels. He extensively covers urban trends that affect the lives of African American adolescents, goal-setting methods, and ways that young adults can build a motivated life. Society is filled with those who are coping with success in their own context, yet many are suffering from a devalued life of underachievement. The Motivated Life provides the encouragement that will enable all those who struggle with success to think, search, and create a new life for themselves.

"In our hearts we know this life of hurry-scurry does not serve us well. Nor does it serve our children who are developmentally unprepared for life in overdrive. Our children have simple needs: To be loved, to be listened to, and to be directed and protected. We are their models, however imperfect. This is a powerful and awesome responsibility!" Author Colleen Reynolds combines her years of teaching and school counseling experience to examine the often-chaotic life of the average American family. In today's fast-paced society with its ever-increasing demands on our time and energy, parents are rushing from one place to another, striving to earn a living, create a home, and have a life. But our hectic lifestyle is taking a profound toll on our children. For a Child with Spirit offers a no-nonsense approach to help parents take control. Reynolds suggests several ways parents can manage their time and emotions as role models to their children. With these insights, family time can improve, as well as the lives of children-at home, at school, and in the community.

By Bill Madigan and Gary Kroesch
For the fi rst time in human history, we are living in an age where the youth of our nation know more about society’s cutting-edge tools than the adults charged with passing society’s technical and cultural knowledge on to them. Most of our young people have far more facility with computer and telecommunications technology than our teaching corps – and, generally, that gap only widens as students travel from elementary school all the way to university and beyond. It’s a brave new – and, often, dangerous – world that today’s youth must learn to navigate. Now, more than ever, they need educators to step up and teach them how to be critical thinkers able to discriminate between the true and the merely seductive, to see beyond the glossy veneer on harmful websites harmful ideas and, sadly, harmful people in both the real and cyber worlds. We need to spend a little less time teaching students how to take standardized tests and a lot more time developing their critical faculties, so they will be able to solve life’s problems, profi t from challenging situations, and understand the increasingly complex world they must ken at an earlier and earlier age.
