Title: boys need punishment??? WHAT?! and rarely, a spanking???
Product review: At first, I thought that Gurian had some very helpful/insightful things to say about what boys need....THEN, he goes on to say that boys need rules, and consequences, and punishments... he suggests how to punish a boy.... and then even goes on to write about SPANKING! saying that it should be very rarely done, and then quotes John Rosemond's guidelines for spanking !!!!After reading Raising Cain, I was definitely expecting more from Gurian than punishment....I can see how the other reviewers would say that they think his poor relationship with his mother (as he describes it) made an impact on the writing of this book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
