Title: another wise title for this book:how to raise your pet
Review: I could put my finger on any line or page of this book and tell you why Gary Ezzo's 'principles' do not make sense. His methods are bizarre and without any scientific basis, no wonder prominent child experts are harshly criticizing his books. How about this --at 2 1/2 if your child is not toilet trained or has an 'accident', you must hold the child 'accountable' and she must clean up herself including the soiled clothes! Read up on even more ridiculous methods as in teaching your child sign language since according to the Ezzos, at 9 months, your child has only 'some mental ability to communicate' or 'some verbal ability to ommunicate.' It just goes on and on. Any parent who considers this book as a great reference will seriously regret it later on. There is an overwhelming lack of empathy or respect for the child here--you'd think you were reading a manual on how to raise a dog.
