In this episode Rick Sykes talks about his journey to shape his sons into productive men and citizens.
The goal of Rick’s book, Five Smooth Stones, is to be transparent by providing real life stories, situations, struggles and the everyday challenges that black males face.
After many years of parenting, he has adopted and applied seven principles that will enable young fathers to navigate fatherhood. These seven principles can be summed up in the acronym T.H.R.E.A.D.S. Transparency, Honor, Responsibility, Example, Affirmation, Decision and Serving.
Although, a large portion of this book is written from Rick’s Christian values and viewpoints, he is confident that this book can help anyone regardless of race, religion, creed, color, or status.
In addition, this book is not about perfect parenting, but progressive parenting.
He hopes you will find this information to be a blessing to you and your family.
