Preface

There are those that say we learn knowledge from books and wisdom from experience. Dr. Reginald Oxendine and Dr. Reginald Oxendine Jr. in their new book, Brilliant Children Nurtured from Conception, take it to another level. Across more than half a century they have taken age old principles and ideas and moved them back into the 21St century for present day teachers, parents, grandparents and others who have a sincere interest in the next generation. It is the making of a humanitarian of sorts that moves from political correctness to a way of thinking that has made a difference in small rural communities and families in Southeastern, North Carolina.

Through real life experiences they rely on the heart, love and wisdom in raising boys and girls from conception through adulthood. Specific suggestions are given to demonstrate how to nurture your children and students to become brilliant, talented, and intelligent with morals, values, skills, virtue, respect and manners.

It seems that there are some in our country that still believe in civility and manners coupled with a good education that brings out the best in children and adolescents. That is what the book, Brilliant Children Nurtured from Conception, models. In many ways they are saying that without compassion and love, courage has no direction.

This book is refreshing and moves us all beyond the slogans and banners to a real deep meaning of raising Rousseau’s Emile of our time. The authors have captured in this book the essence of the difference between success and despair in all of our lives. It gives us a road map that we can follow if we really want to make a difference in the lives of boys and girls, in our community and our nation.

The book, Brilliant Children Nurtured from Conception, gives us hope along with the incredible possibilities that exist in all of us to live our life well as we help shape the lives of youngsters in our communities to become brilliant children and adults.

Chapter 1: Need for this Book

There is a tremendous need for this book, Brilliant Children are Nurtured from Conception. Almost any person who is over 13 years of age can become a parent without any formal parenting skills, training or knowledge of how to properly raise a child which is so vitally important. The most important responsibility and task in an adult person’s life is procreation or passing their genes on to the next generation. This should be a planned process and not left to chance, the result of poor planning or the consequences of a one night drunken stupor.

Adolescents, young adults or mature adults seldom plan for the process of preconception, conceiving a child and the proper process to nurture the child from conception through adulthood. This process of rearing a brilliant child requires much planning, preparation and nurturing each hour, day, week, month and year from conception throughout the child’s life including adulthood.

This book and the information it contains is an overview of proven techniques, principles and human development processes about how to rear brilliant children. It includes suggestions about ways to help parents, future parents, grandparents and significant others to nurture the next generation of children to become quality citizens for our families and our communities.

It is very important to realize that it is never too early to plan and prepare for children to develop into brilliant people during each stage of development.
