Old School Lessons

Book excerpt: I believe that these perspectives should be taught in accordance with the culture and traditions that are also very important in shaping a child's life. A child needs to know what culture he or she represents (no matter what culture you choose) and how things operate within that culture. I believe parenting is a huge part of every culture to provide every child with both nature and nurture they need. These two areas of life (the nature and nurture of a child) are not mutually exclusive as many regard them in this age; they both have to be happening together in the right way. Perhaps you are an immigrant or somebody who finds that life is giving you less than you expect... Did you struggle through your upbringing? Then this book is for you. Author Kemi Obayemi offers a real-life jaunt into her somewhat trying past. Find out how she finds the strength to lead a successful, happy life.
