Summary: All or Nothing - 1 or 5
Comment: Most people who reviewed this book gave it 1 star or 5. Quite an extreme. I was amazed to read the negative reviews for this book. I almost wonder if the people who had a negative response actually read it or did they get so worked up about the suggestion of spankings they couldn't see past that. This is not a book about BEATING your children into submission, and it's not about whoever is bigger wins. This book gives parents encouragement to set rules and to expect RESPECT from their children. It's about DISCIPLINE which does not = spanking. Spanking is suggested as a last resort not the 1st and only option. Society was not as permssive when we were growing up as it is now and look at the decline of our young ones. Our generation had a lot more respect for authority than children do today. Dr Dobson is trying to help us see that permissiveness breeds lack of respect. I have found this book very helpful. He may not be politically correct by today's standards but I don't want to raise my children by today's standards.

Summary: Dissagreement with this book appears to be purley political.
Comment: Dr. Dobson does not advocate child abuse in this book or any other book he has written. Corporal punishment is sometimes need to get the attention of a very strong-willed child and should only be used as a last resort. That is just what Dr. Dobson advocates. The words and principles of the bible are used extensivly and exhaustedly in this book and is does indeed reflect the Christian foundations of raising children. Most of the authors cited as an alternative to Dr. Dobson are well known as new-age humanists and radical leftist and socialist authors. Concepts such as personal responsibility and respect for authority are not beliefs they would espouse. In their world view, every human is god and Mother Nature is the supreme being of the universe, these are fast becoming a political religion to those of the secular humanist/socialist/communist new-agers of the day.

Summary: Beat thy child in the name of God
Comment: The irony here is that if I beat Mr. Dobson for writing this book, I would be the one to going to jail.
