Negative Positive
Title: poor advice
Review: Having a spirited child, I was looking for some sound techniques for use in dealing with him. I did not find it here. Dobson compares a "strong-willed" child to a malfunctioning shopping cart and a dog; states one can start spanking with a switch or plastic object at 15 months; accuses advocates of non-violent parenting of being responsible for child abuse; says that after a punishment, the child should be encouraged to pray so he can realize he is a sinner; the list of ludicrous advice goes on. I had heard positive things about Dr. Dobson and was shocked to read the comparisons and advice in this book. Quite frankly, it frightens me that this book is still in print.Not a good option for parents opposed to hitting/spanking.
Is the review positive or negative?
