Reb Bradley's recipe for raising children is a recipe for disaster and promotes nothing but abusive parenting. No child deserves to have the type of constant, physical punishment that he advocates in this book. It reeks of physical and emotional abuse.It nauseates me to read the constant them of breaking the child's will, and hitting children at every chance possible.This author's methods are abusive and sickening. Any child raised in the type of environment that he advocates will be in jeopardy of permanent physical and emotional damage.How about raising happy loving, smiling children? Effective discipline such as talking, redirecting, teaching, sharing, leading by example, will produce healthier, happier children, and in turn these children will age into better parents. I shudder to think what it would be like to be a child subjected to this type of torture that is outlined in this book.Amazon should not be in the business of promoting such garbage.
