By Hernika McCoy Campbell EdM

It’s been proven children become successful adults when reared in the right direction by those within the home as well as outside the home. As adults, we must realize the importance our decisions have on building our children, who are the future of this world. They’re the adults of the future, the ones who will carry on the legacy of our names.

In It Still Takes a Village to Raise a Child, author Hernika McCoy Campbell helps you realize that your everyday choices, whether positive or negative, influence the lives of young children near and far. It defines specific steps needed to successfully prepare children for their lives, and it discusses:

• creating a loving environment;

• holding your child accountable;

• investing in your child’s interests;

• leading by example; and

• dedicating yourself to your child.

Whether you are a single parent, favorite aunt or uncle, pastor, custodian, bus driver, grocery shopper, or close friend, your life matters, and it matters more to those young eyes who watch your every move. It Still Takes a Village to Raise a Child communicates your life is not in vain. When you’ve discovered your purpose, the next move is to reach down and grab our youth on the journey to success with you.
