Negative Positive
Title: For perverts only
Review: I read this book and it made me feel ill. It takes the warped view that "discipline" equals "spanking", that parents are in the position of God over their children, and God commands them to whip their offspring's buttocks with a stick. Even infants should be whipped on the buttocks with a stick when they cry! A fakey, "cheerful" obedience is demanded, and instant, unquestioning compliance to the parent's demands even if these demands are "unreasonable"(p.49)! What happened to "Love is patient, love is kind" from the Bible??The only people who could possibly benefit from this trash are spankos and BDSM fans, who enjoy pain mixed with affection. Certainly not parents, who are not God and who need and deserve honest information about how to raise children humanely. "Discipline" doesn't mean to whip someone; it means to teach, with words and example.
