This book is nauseating! It is pretty much a How To Abuse A Child 101. It's sickening. I've had trouble getting to sleep because of thinking about it, and thinking about the fact that horrible parents like this even exist (and flaunt it!). Please, for the sake of your child, do NOT buy this book. Dr. Sears writes a wonderful Christian parenting book on discipline called "The Discipline Book". A much better read if you truly want your children to love you instead of fear you.
