I did not like it very much, so I imagine this one is no better. He sets up a straw man of "permissive parenting" and knocks it down over and over with his "Good old-fashioned common sense (what Grandma would have done)" style of parenting. The problem is, he throws all sorts of parenting Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-53857761343760986392011-10-29T16:33:25.044-04:002011-10-29T16:33:25.044-04:00I will be frank, I have not read the book mentione...I will be frank, I have not read the book mentioned above. If you are looking for a well balanced parenting book with Christian ethics, "Grace based Parenting" by Dr. Kimmel may be more suited to your likes. I do not agree with everything in this book (I rarely do ANY parenting book I read) but it's pretty well rounded in my humble opinion. Best of luck in your quest!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289355142394092094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31180029.post-12922323519819653472011-10-29T13:23:09.577-04:002011-10-29T13:23:09.577-04:00I'm astounded at how ridiculous some of these ...I'm astounded at how ridiculous some of these suggestions are on how to parent.

Spending more time alone with your spouse than time playing and talking with your child is not any guarantee for healthy children, quite the opposite. Neglecting children harms them.
