It seemed to me that the author's approach produces a child's obedience much like what I would describe as a dog's submissiveness. It appears that a child can't approach their parent unless their head is bowed and their tail between their legs. Even the picture on the book doesn't look like a happy child to me, but one who is timid. I do agree that children need consistently enforced boundaries, but some psychological liberty with it. I much preferred "Love and Logic" by Jim Faye.
