This is a decieving and dangerous book and I am glad it is out of print. This should be illegal just like writing a manual on how to abuse someone or make bombs. Some books should just be censored and this is one of them.
My main objection to this book is the lack of respect for children. They are treated worse than animals and it is supposed to be in the name of discipline. I have heard this man speak in person, along with his wife Debi Pearl as well. She is just as luny as he is if not worse. For a woman to be so heartless reveals a real sickness.
His displine methods are just mean spirited. Thumping breastfeeding babies was the ultimate stupid advice to give....I would rather see people bottle feed their babies instead of thump them just because they are annoyed feeding them. You can just remove the breast if they bite not thump them.
Popping a baby's hand for exploring is just plain destructive and should be discouraged. Punishing children under six monthes is not only pointless but cruel. I also disagree with blanket training.
There are a lot of ways to encourage children to behave without instilling fear. Also, if I have to worship a God and fear God, why bother? I would go to hell anyway... This is certainly no encouragement to be a Christian and it definately scares people away.

As is NGJ Vol. 1, Volume 2 is a great book for those who have read To Train up a Child and still have questions about some of the Pearl's methods. Lots of additional advice and humorous anecdotes!

I was given this book by a girlfriend and fellow church member. We were in the midst of reading "Sheperding a Child's Heart" when conversation changed to " but how do you teach a toddler right/wrong"? Aren't they too young? This book, along with Volume 1 and the Pearl's "To train up a child" is a beautifully written, a well documented Christian book about teaching our children to obey God through us as parents. We are called as God's agents to do so according to scripture. I read some of the neg. reviews and am appauled- they're obviusoly NOT reading it thoroughly and or not beleivers, because the bible clearly states the rod is to be used- period at appropriate time.I appreciate the fact that the authors reiterate that if the parent IS TOO ANGRY, DON'T DISCIPLINE/SPANK at that point. Spanking is meant to be done in a calm, loving manner, so if you didn't get that from their repeated stances, then YOU'RE NOT READING IT CORRECTLY. I never thought I would spank, but I am grateful God has graced me with the knowlege and the love for my child. My husband and I have used the tactics decribed in the Pearls's 1st book with our 16 month old and he is such a wonderful and obedient listener. We have incorporated prayer with him at bedtime and have seen such sweet changes.God is working in him, we see that, but it's because God is guiding us. Good luck!

I would not recommend this book to parents because of the strong reliance on corporal punishment it suggests. If you make children behave by hitting them, what do you do when they become too big to hit?
In general, the techniques taught in this book go against everything the American Psychiatric Association suggests. Their studies find that children treated in this manner will be more likely to act out and rebel against authority. Just because all children who are hit do not have problems does not mean that many of them don't. Another warning: a woman who accidentally killed her foster child claimed that she was following the instructions in this book. Overall, not a good guide to raising emotionally healthy children.
