Family First

Deloris Jordan - She is a great coach in the most important game you'll ever play: Raising Kids. 
"Yes, I'm Michael Jordan's mother.  I do have a world-famous son.  But I had a Family First".
This is an incredible, God-given opportunity to say something that will encourage and help others in their family roles.  But I want you to understand that this is my very ordinary experience as the mother of five children that has provided me with any worthwhile wisdom I might have to share about parenting, motherhood, child-rearing, and the incredible importance of family in our society today. - Deloris Jordan
 
Deloris Jordan knows a thing or two about being a mom. She is the mother of five high-achieving children - Ronald, Deloris, Larry, Michael, and Roslyn - a sought-after national speaker on the family, and the volunteer president of the Michael Jordan Foundation. Her galvanizing message on encouraging responsibility and a passion for excellence has inspired parents across the country. Being the mother of basketball's greatest player has given Deloris Jordan a platform, but it's her experience bringing up an accomplished family in a challenging environment, along with her deep commitment to church and community, that gave her the expertise she passes on in this invaluable handbook for parents of children of all ages. Using warm anecdotes and never-before-told family stories, Jordan paints a realistic and uplifting portrait of the potential power of parents. She explores the universal goals that parents set for their children - self-discipline, responsibility, perseverance, moral values, and the desire to achieve - and explains the practical tools and strategies theJordan family uses to realize those goals. And through personal examples and wise, plainspoken insight, Deloris Jordan challenges, guides, and encourages parents who long to do everything they can to help their children learn, grow, prosper, and succeed.
