Breaking the Chains of Self Doubt

Breaking the Chains of Self Doubt is an accessible text and will make a valuable addition to the reading list of counselors, freshmen orientation facilitators and students. The pages ahead are full of practical real world experience as told from the perspective of one who has overcome. Dr. Skeete's work here has the makings of being a staple reading in Freshman Orientation programs across the world. His openness and sincerity promise to connect with many on a very personal level. Dr. Skeete offers sound advice on the importance of effective communication, bonding and mentoring of our children. He challenges his readers to be reflective of their practices, priorities and the methods used to guide our children. He gives special attention to the role of fathers in the family. Again utilizing personal anecdotes, he challenges other fathers to be more present in the lives of their children. He notes that absenteeism is not restricted to the physical presence in the home, but involves minimalist levels of engagement. While encouraging parents to motivate their children, he cautions his readers against projecting their own dreams onto their children. Communication is a two-way street he reminds us, and listening to our children and helping them to formulate their own dreams and supporting them in pursuit of those dreams is key.
