One of the most feared assignments in this day and age is parenting. Speaking to many parents, one hears the concerns they have and very often the self-doubt about their ability to do right by their children. They often say they wish they had some sort of guide. A manual. This is what The Smart Book for Smart Parents has very succinctly provided. Candid, research-based and experiential thoughts and guidance to help parents from the heart of an exceptional teacher and parent. I have known the author, Leke Amoo, for many years and there are very few people who inspire me in the discharge of their duty as teachers. He is one of them.

If you are looking for an easy to digest, yet richly-packed book, that gives you the tools and asks you to reflect, look no further.  Adeiye Oluwaseun-Sobo, The Intentional Teachers’ Network

Leke has written a piece true to his personality. The Smart Book for Smart Parents is thought-provoking and relevant to the times we live in. It begins with an attention-grabbing introduction, sustains readers' attention with very relatable humour and examples. This book offers practical tips and groundbreaking ideas that are backed up with veritable evidence – statistics, research findings, quotes and links to their sources. Then it ends with a call to action for every parent, which honestly already exists in each module with Leke's ingenious invitation to readers to 'co-author' with him, through personal reflections.

This is a manual that parents like me should be referred to very often.

One of the biggest challenges facing our world is absentee parents. The evolution of society into the equality of working fathers and working mothers have left the children in the care of care givers who themselves need care. Children are getting more phone time and more TV time than daddy and mummy time put together. This tips the scale on a need for a guide on parenting. It’s a matter of national and generational emergency. That is why this well-thought-out masterpiece by Leke Amoo needs to get into the hands of every parent. Some will argue that being a father or mother does not require any serious skillsets, but being parents does. I particularly like the fact that The Smart Book for Smart Parents is an easy read, blended with practical stories and offers the readers a variety of options to choose from for each module. This book is a compulsory guide for every parent.

Changing our world and fixing our country begins with Parenting. One thing is clear, parenting is one of the key foundations on which society rests, and for parents, one that determines your legacy. When we raise children right, we leave a legacy that can last generations and we create hope for our society, as these children cause advancement in any area they focus on. In this book, Leke challenges parents in the quest to ensure we raise children that will advance humanity in their own way. He poses tough questions for parents to answer. He tells stories and paints pictures with words that ensures you don’t miss the main points. He also doesn’t leave you to figure it all out as he presents key action steps parents can follow on this path. Parenting is a high calling and a difficult responsibility, and it takes a good dose of grace and smart to do it right. Grace and smart that you will find in the pages of this book.

Leke brings his over 10 years’ experience working with children to the table, capturing a gift that all parents should embrace with open arms by reading this book. Dig in. You will be glad you did. I was.

I have spent the last 15 years of my life researching the subject of parenting across different cultures because parenting in my opinion is one of the greatest needs to reposition our society. This is one resource that is so easy to read and very engaging, but above all makes you question your blind spots and provides answers in your quest to becoming an exceptional parent. I am super impressed at the depth of your work, Leke. This is highly recommended to everyone who truly wants to become a better parent.  Praise Fowowe (The Institute of Family Engineering and Development)

Hmmm! This book is a gift from God and one that every parent should stay glued to. The wisdom here is so relatable on every level. I think of my 3-year-old daughter as I read about toddlers and I can relate to the older children’s needs as I go through those as well. This is a book many 21^st Century parents would relate to and would love their contemporaries to read and learn from. It is laced with practicable ideas that will spark creativity in the mind of the reader – thus making them smart. I see myself on a journey to becoming a smart parent, thanks to The Smart Book for Smart Parents. I recommend that every parent who takes their children’s future seriously should read this book.

It's an enlightening book that one will have to pause at intervals to really digest and think through. While you won't always agree with what Leke is saying, there's a lot of food for thought that will make you consider carefully what you're doing and how you're doing it. I particularly looooove how Leke makes one see that this journey of parenting is one that only the Holy Spirit can help with. I have no doubt that this book will start a revolution and bless a lot of lives! Well done Hubby!
