Three thousand years ago, a wise man said, "Train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Good training is not crisis management; it is what you do before the need of discipline arises.
BR> Most parenting is accidental rather than deliberate. Imagine building a house that way. We don't need to reinvent training. There are child training principles and methods that have worked from antiquity. To neglect deliberate training is to shove your child into a sea of choices and passions without a boat of compass.
This book is not about discipline, nor problem children. The emphasis is on the training of a child before the need to discipline arises. It is apparent that, though they expect obedience, most parents never attempt to train their child to obey. They wait until the behavior becomes unbearable and then explode. With proper training, discipline can be reduced to 5% of what many now practice. As you come to understand the difference between training and discipline, you will have a renewed vision for your family, no more raised voices, no contention, no bad attitudes, fewer spankings, a cheerful atmosphere in the home, and total obedience from your children.

| I wouldn't treat an animal that way, let alone a child. |

An emphatically negative review for a book that perpetuates crimes against children - stemming from ignorance and indistinguishable from malice. No reputable animal behavior book would encourage treating a living being this way - let alone doing it to your own child.

There is a type of abuse called satanic abuse where people feel like children are a gift from God so they need to be beaten down and rebuilt to worship satan. The authors are evil and want children to hate religion and God so they will worship the devil. This is a devil book in disguise.

Do not purchase this book or read it. This book advocates the worst form of child abuse - hitting infants. I am shocked it is still being sold on Amazon. If I could give it "zero" stars, I would, but there is no way to do that on this site.

| Good book, but to be read with discernment and prayer! |

There is a lot of controversy around this particular book and sometimes the Pearls can be a little abrasive in their writing style. There are a few things I disagree with in their book, like *lightly* spanking an 10-month-old when he/she won't stop crying. I have a 10-month-old, and I don't believe that is the best way to handle his crying right now. The Pearls make a point to say that if you have an anger problem, you are *NOT* to spank. They emphasize cultivating a healthy, loving relationship between parents and child. Don't let the extreme nay-sayers steer you away from this book just yet. There are many wonderful, helpful examples of how to parent without losing your mind (and without losing the love and respect of your child). With the Pearls' approach, you no longer have to yell and scream out of frustration. I think that is much scarier for a child than to have a quick spank and have it over with. Of course, the spanking is not be done while angry or upset. Like I mentioned in the title, it ought to be read with prayer. Ultimately, you decide what is best for your children, but this was a good book. I gave it 5 stars because although there were some techniques I wouldn't do personally, overall I think it has a lot of wisdom in the pages. I know quite a few wonderful, sweet families who have used this book and their children are kind, considerate, and love God (and their parents!) deeply.

I am shocked that Amazon is still selling this book. These sick people advocate whipping babies! Whipping babies! Outrageous. That is child abuse. Please do not support this madness. I have been an elementary school teacher, a principal, and am a mother and grandmother. NO CHILD SHOULD BE WHIPPED!
