He was a prolific writer, beginning with an account of his escape to freedom and experience under slavery.
Baumrind says these parents “are obedience- and status-oriented, and expect their orders to be obeyed without explanation.” They are often described as domineering and dictatorial. Their approach is “spare the rod, spoil the child.” They expect children to obey without question. While these parents have high demands, they are not very responsive to their children. Although the landscape may be difficult to navigate, white educators can take some steps to build trust and lessen resistance from Black parents.
Therefore, the best way to raise successful kids is to become a warm, responsive, and accepting parent, and cultivate a close parent-child relationship and family.

But for older kids, it means talking with them — not at them — about the reasons for our policies and rules. Inductive discipline is about teaching your child to think — constructively and non-selfishly — about how their behavior affects others. And inductive discipline may promote the development of morality . It’s called “inductive discipline,” and there is evidence that it helps kids become more empathic, helpful, conscientious, and kind to others (Krevans and Gibbs 1996; Knafo and Plomin 2006).
Thus, an early theme of African-American literature was, like other American writings, what it meant to be a citizen in post-Revolutionary America.
