This book has done wonders for our family and several others around us, teaching principles of capitalism and freedom by setting limits and accepting responsibility among other valued based principles. Anybody who rejects these wonderful methods is probably a socialist trapped in the entitlement/victim mentality that doesn’t create much value for others but gripes about who’s screwing him. That life must really suck! Here’s to you Mr. angry reviewer.

I was disappointed in this his book I don’t believe that this is effective parenting or that it would help a child grow up to be more responsible.

I don’t believe a child should be abandoned as a form of discipline as when the author says to put them in there room and latch the door. What happen to listening to a child and having a two sided conversation with a child. This book is all about showing the child that the parent is in control. Kind of a my way or the highway form of discipline. The author suggests that “The car is leaving in ten minutes” is an enforceable statement, so if the child is not ready in 10 minutes does he leave with out his child? I think DCFS would like to hear about that. Basically, I think this form of discipline is harsh and insensitive and it is not at all the kind and gentle form of dicipline it claims to be. Nor do I think it will help a child make necessarily better decisions when they are older, but it may make them afraid to go out and explore the world.

I hated how the authors condemned babies who are attached to their parents. They seem to think that it is abnormal for babies to prefer the company of their parents to that of strangers.
I do like that they don’t condone spanking or crying it out.
