Summary: Spanking
Comment: To those of you who think spanking is barbaric, look back a generation or two to parents and grandparents. What do you see? Compare them to people who were raised without spanking. Is there a difference? Do you see any of the following characteristics more in one group than the other? violence, anger, felt unloved or abused by parents, respect for others, kindness, compassion, etc. Just wondering. I'm 64. My friends and I received some spankings--some more than others. Most of us grew up happy, thinking our parents loved us and thinking our parents were great, except for the teen years. We are nonviolent people who respect and love other people. Perhaps, other means of reward and punishment would have been just as effective, but spanking did not make us violent or insecure. It could be abused alright, but any method of parenting can be abused. I'm not advocating spanking; I just thought some of the comments on spanking were wrong.

Summary: For Christians only
Comment: IF you aren't a born again christian, then this might not be for you. It was recommended by a friend who is born again, but I never thought that her recommendation for a book on childrearing would be tied to belief in Jesus. Who knew....

Summary: Discipline is different than abuse!
Comment: By Happy mom of happy kids (CA) - See all my reviews
In this book, Dr. Dobson CLEARLY specifies the different personalities of children. Most of the people who is horrified by the sole idea of spanking a child are those who have not had an obvious need for this resource of discipline. I have two children with totally opposite personalities, my daughter who is a lovely, complaint, inteligent girl, NEVER had to be disciplined in this way. Actually, at the time when I only had my daughter I wouldn't have seen the need of this method, and is not that she was the perfect child but due to her personality by only explaining causes and effects, and patiently steering her behavior, I was succesful at raising a happy, obedient and extremely confident nice girl. After her, I was blessed with my adorable strong willed son, who I love as much as my daughter (for the ones who could conceive otherwise), but recognize the difference between their personalities and obviously the difference in the approach needed to discipline them. I have read lots of childrearing books and NOTHING worked with my son, the time was passing by and though I was being patient, I recognized the need to act, so I did. I applied Dr. Dobson's method of discipline and LOVE, did I mentioned LOVE? was that BIG and CLEAR enough????? It is not about pain, it is about discipline which has NOTICEABLY made my child HAPPIER, he has now better relationships at school, a much better relationship with us, his parents, with sister, etc. I have not had the need of doing it again in 3 months now. So, is a spanking (1 swat) in three months abuse?????? I don't think so. And I'm willing to do it again if necessary.
Again, NOT EVERY child needs this approach of discipline and Dr. Dobson has made that very clear in his book, and also has made clear that disciplining your child with LOVE does not make a child resentful, but grateful. There are many testimonies of this in this same blog. He clearly stated that ONLY those parents of a child like "this" (like mine) would understand.

Summary: It worked on me!
Comment: I was raised using the exact methods that Dobson recommends. I am a well-adjusted, happily married, mother of a five year old boy. I've attempted to use these exact principles to raise my son and so far he is one of the happiest, confident little boys I know. I think many people who reviewed this book have not read it in it's entirety. One of Dobson's strongest points is love. I guess I don't need to expound. The strongest argument for a book is the product of its application. Speaking of which, my sister and many of my friends were also disciplined this way, and they all turned out great :)

Summary: NotaSFfreak
Comment: History speaks for itself, you can make all the arguments you want, but the proof is in the pudding. Look at the past generations where "spanking" as a dispicline was practiced by the majority in comparison with our current generation where the major
concensus is "negotiation and just give them a hug"...
It's NOT working guys, wake up...
The past generations were respectiful of each other, patriotic, less violent ... and in general, far better citizens. This generation is plagued with emotional, addictive and violent behaviors...
Now I'm sure you'll have your "theory" on that...but as for me, I KNOW our "Feel Good" approach is creating a society of self-involved, self-serving, self-centered individuals.
