About the Book
BeNeca Ward highlights the practices
that were once used to set the American
standards on raising children to be
kind, respectful and responsible adults.
Shedding light on the timely topic
of how to instill great values into
today’s children, this book focuses on
GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS
OF PARENTING utilizing the lessons
that were used for at least three generations but for many reasons are no longer
being taught. Subtle and informative, this book infuses humor and wit as readers
reflect upon their own experiences and are tuned into the experiences of others.
It also spotlights how much was once taught through the simplest lessons. With
chapters like, “Hold My Hand”, “The Patience of a Pomegranate”, “The Makings
of a Man” and Family Ties” readers are in for a memorable illuminating experience.
As Ward states, it is never too late to mold America’s children into kind, respectful
and responsible adults.
Excerpts:
“Growing up, we became very familiar with the words structure and discipline.
They were blended into the cement that was laid on the foundation of our lives,
which ultimately held all our values together.”
“As children, we were not given the most but taught to appreciate the least.”
“I learned how to accept the fact that everyone will not think that I am the most
beautiful person; but just as I found beauty within myself, someone else would
find beauty in me as well.”
“Being neighborly” was . . . a bit like mandatory community service.”
“Bedtime was a regular vocabulary word in our household.”
“A man’s name was ultimately viewed as the mirror image of his legacy. It was
looked at as something similar to a “bowl of life.” Everything that he did during
his lifetime was put inside of his name.”
