I can't believe this man believes the only way to discipline is to spank. Then he and his wife are so lazy that they couldn't be bothered to set up a perimeter around dangerous areas in their house so they spank an eight month old who entered the forbidden zone (pg. 154 1995 ed). I believe in spanking but to spank an infant is gutwrenching, especially seeing is how I witnessed Mr. Tripps advice being carried out.
