After reviewing this book, I suddenly felt an intense need to shower and have this piece of trash out of my home.This book and it's author are not only sick, but advocating the worst kind of mental and physical abuse of small children.To hit a bright and inquisitive 4 MONTH old for trying to crawl up the stairs?? To put a toddler in a situation where their natural curiosity is piqued by an item they are told not to touch and then hitting them when their impulse overcomes the instruction and they touch the item?I am appalled that Amazon or the publisher would even associate themselves with these monsters, and disappointed as well.
