She takes some big unsubstantiated leaps about a pretty serious topic, parental aggression, in this book. Can she be serious that there is a link between a societal ban on hitting kids and the rise in child abuse? I think we need to see some hard research on that. If that's not bad enough, she also wonders whether there is something to be learned from her own mother, who freely called out to bisbehaving kids, "I'll kill you!" Although her concern for the inhibited parent may be justified, she doesn't seem to know when to draw the line on parental aggression nor give the reader a sense of appropriate ways to express anger. Thanks anyway, I'll pass on this one.
