1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 24, 2011

This review is from: The New Strong-Willed Child Workbook (Paperback)

This book recommends parenting behavior such as hitting children, which is NOT the advice most Christian Counselors would give to parents. There are some fabulous parenting books out there which are scripturally based such as Dr. William Sears, which advocate nonviolent parenting and follow scripture's themes (like Jesus's admonitions never to harm a child), and don't prooftext metaphorical verses about using a shepherd's rod the way that this book does. This book does not do an adequate job of explaining the real truth of God's word for parenting children... it simply takes the advice to hit your kids and gives you some excuses to make you feel better about doing it. If you are a Christian, please PRAY and ask God to guide you toward which parenting books to follow...and listen as He speaks to your heart...Listen to God...not the author of this book who is not God. I am praying for the Holy Spirit to intervene in the hearts of those who read this book, and for them to have the spiritual attunement to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and the courage to stand up for what Jesus really said about children...which is to protect them.
