Introduction

Push: Toward Higher-Achieving Children is a must-read book for parents, guardians, teachers, community leaders, and others. Push will provide opportunities to assist and empower your children to reach their potentials and provide substance for pushing them toward being high achievers. The goal to success is not a mystery.

Parents, let me first applaud you because your high-achieving children are the products of your good parenting efforts. I attest that creating healthier homes and a loving environment are examples of pushing them to greatness. The relationship between parents, schools, churches, and communities contribute to the push toward high-achieving children. Great teachers create an environment with love by making learning fun.
