Whipping babies with switches - that's inhumane. There is no one-size-fits-all formula to parenting. Mr. Pearl would have us believe that his methods produce children that obey instantly, with every parental command. Any parent who's raised even one child knows that children are never, always obedient, every single time. Even the most mild mannered, obedient kids mess up once in awhile. Don't waste your time with this book, or any other of the Pearl's publications.
