This book has killed kids, children have been starved and malnourished because of this book. Nobody should ever support child abuse. I'm not joking, look it up, there's deaths tied into this book.

This is a book suggesting you find as many ways to hit your child and pull your babies hair is horrid. This is a deep hellish nightmare of a book that is blatant child abuse. Trying these techniques can get you put in jail or cause you to lose your children. CPS should be on the lookout and see owning this book as a red flag! If you don't get reported, your children will be raised in fear and terror as this couple's has been.

Why raise a kid when you can train them to fear you like you train a pet? That's not me being sassy, the book repeatedly compared children to pets and making them 'fear and respect' their abusers.

Then comparing it to other abusive things like breaking in a mule or joining the army and being put through the ringer.

"Hitting your child won't kill them", nah, they'll just hold onto it the more it happens. Abuse lingers into the fragile mind of a child. They don't forget painful experiences growing up, they get shaped by them.

Literally this book falls on the mentality of I was abused and I turned out just fine. Chances are, you didn't turn out fine. If you did, you wouldn't continue that abuse down onto your children.

One instruction is literally put eye-catching things around them, then hit them if they try to touch them. As infants. This is abuse and more likely to make them become withdrawn. "Through this repetition, the child will come to associate being told no with the memory of pain." Obedience through fear is how kids

"Even newborns can feel pain and this must be exploited."

There's documentation of them using a willow switch on their four-month-old baby. Chasing them up and down the stairs and whipping the infant! How did nobody call CPS? Gross.

"Why don't you give him a spanking and make him happy?" Is something they have actually said to a complete stranger. The way that made my blood turn to ice.

There's no justification for abusing tiny children. Wtf.

Do not read unless you desire to peer into the void and feel utterly scared for kids.
