Product Description
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 most parents never attempt to train a child to obey. They wait until the child 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 familyno more raised voices, no contention, no bad attitudes, fewer spankings, a cheerful atmosphere in the home, and total obedience from your children. A couple, stressed out with the conflict of three young children, after spending the weekend with us and hearing some of these principles, changed their strategy. One week later, they exclaimed, "I can't believe it; we went to a friend's house, and when I told my children to do something, they immediately, without question, obeyed." These truths are not new, deep insights from the professional world of research, rather, the same principles the Amish use to train their stubborn mules, the same technique God uses to train his children.

 Great book -- creates a happy family November 19, 2008
If you want happy children, and happy parents -- read this book. Michael and Debi Pearl suggest you tie strings with your kids, as well as be in charge in the home. If you want tranquility, start with this book. If your children are obedient, they are happy. If they know not to question you, and they know they have boundaries, they will be happier, and so will you. I can't say enough about this awesome book and the loving people who wrote it. May God richly bless them.
Changed our lives! November 17, 2008
Reading and applying the strategies in this book has changed our family. Our children amaze friends and relatives when they obey immediately and with good attitudes. I can not and have not recommended a book more highly.
A wonderful asset for the Christian parent! November 17, 2008
My husband and I found this book to be one of the most helpful, practical books on parenting in a Biblical way. I feel like I finally understand what it means to "train up a child". Our 2 yr. old has shown much improvement since we began implementing these principles. I highly recommend.
 How To Rationalize Child Abuse November 12, 2008
With Bible quotes and twisted logic, the Pearls recommend you pull your baby's hair and hit him with a stick.

A friend recommended this book because I was frustrated with spanking. The authors of this book encourage training (which includes spanking) in a different way than most parents operate. We saw immediate results (within one week) and now 6 weeks later my sons (age 2 and 1) are incredibly happy. Now we only need to spank (our older son only) once a week or less, my sons are more obedient, and they are such a delight to us and to others. I get so many compliments on how happy and good they are. My husband and I no longer discipline in anger, we have to correct their behavior infrequently, and I am having much more fun with them at home. Some may say this book is not for them, but it is 100% Biblical and more loving than anything else I have seen. Failing to discipline in a way the Bible commands (spanking) is not the loving solution. I highly recommend this book. (Do read the "homeschooling" section with a grain of salt as the principles are wise but there is no scriptural support as to why that method must be the "only way".) May your family have as much love and fun as we have!
Also consider reading Childwise, Toddlerwise, or Babywise by Ezzo which are highly controversial, but truly scriptural and as a pediatric nurse (and loving mommy) I find no fault medically with their methods.
