If your child rearing methods sound like something the Soviets or the Vietcong would have done to prisoners of war maybe they are not actually morally correct.

I just want to throw up after reading this. I can’t believe someone would be so egotistical as to promote the behaviors in this book and claim it to be “Godly”. What’s worse is, I know there are new parents out there who are trying to figure out what to do and they will read this crap and end up denying their children their basic needs, at the least. I just wish this book was completely taken off the market. It is (in my opinion) a manual to manipulate children into acting like robots so they don’t get clobbered by the ones who are supposed to love them the most. Thank you for your review.

The mention of the children dropping everything when called until they leave home, and the part where the cause for this not sitting well can’t quite be identified…. I would say that such an environment is one of subjugation akin to what a slave feels.
