Abstract
Research on the highest-achieving members of a population can be instructive in assisting those who are less successful. The authors present findings from a study of 29 fathers of academically successful African American males, an untapped area of study, to illustrate how such findings can be used to guide interventions. Six parenting practices were observed among the fathers, most notable of which were their strong identity as a Black male and the support they received from the broader community. Implications for practice and research are suggested.
