Where have all the parents gone? What happened to those who, like my grandmother, treated parenting as the most important human responsibility and the planet's oldest profession? My grandmother, if she were living, would not recognize today's parents. Something is amiss. We reside in a country that places higher demands on passing a driver's education course than it does on procreation and raising children. We offer classes like Lamaze to prepare parents for the birth of a child but have no such courses to equip parents for being able to raise a child. The way we view parenting and…mehr

Where have all the parents gone? What happened to those who, like my grandmother, treated parenting as the most important human responsibility and the planet's oldest profession? My grandmother, if she were living, would not recognize today's parents. Something is amiss. We reside in a country that places higher demands on passing a driver's education course than it does on procreation and raising children. We offer classes like Lamaze to prepare parents for the birth of a child but have no such courses to equip parents for being able to raise a child. The way we view parenting and subsequently raise children is absurd. So, I wrote this book because I believe my grandmother would have wanted me to say something. I wrote this book because I'm concerned that if we wait much longer to outline a process to help our future citizens, we won't be able to repair or recondition the fabric of our nation. I wrote this book because I believe all children need and deserve great parents.

Autorenporträt
Nathaniel A. Turner is a parent & education activist and author of multiple books, including Raising Supaman and Stop The Bus: Education Reform in 31 Days. Turner has appeared in numerous media outlets, including Black Enterprise, iHeartRadio, The Good Men Project, The Washington Post, and U.S. News & World Report. As a zealous advocate that every person has an opportunity to maximize their human potential, Nate shares through courses, workshops, and conferences 'The Life Template, ' a backward design life process he first developed to help his son meet the rigorous educational requirements of the top colleges and universities. Turner created 'The Life Template' in 1994 to make sure his then-unborn child would meet the admission criteria for Harvard University: intellectual astuteness, global competency, and humanitarian centered. Without means of wealth, privilege, legacy status, fraud, bribery, cheating or Adobe Photoshop, Turner's son not only met Harvard's admission benchmarks (i.e., test scores in top 1%, 33 college credits, proficiency in four languages, lived abroad playing soccer for more than a year; and started a foundation to address teen homelessness); he eviscerated the profiled criterion by his sixteenth birthday. At present, Turner's son is an Electrical and Computer Engineering Ph.D. student at one of the nation's premier graduate engineering schools. Today, those tools, techniques, and strategies initially created to help his child thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution are educational and life development staples for students, parents, and organizations all over the country. Turner holds multiple degrees, ranging from Accounting (History Theology and Law (Juris Doctor). The diversity of this TED speaker's formal education, combined with a wide range of personal experiences and professions, makes him a modern-day Renaissance Man and a highly sought-after speaker. When Nathaniel's time on the planet is up, the self-described Humanity Propulsion Engineer hopes to be remembered merely as a man who did his best to leave the earth better than it was when he arrived.
