This book is absolutely appauling.
First off, smacking or harming a child in anyway is illegal in the UK so I am absolutely disgusted to think that this book is allowed to be on sale.
Second this book basically condones beating your child, or using painful force to make your child obedient.
You do not decide to have children to make them become obdience slaves, making them seem happy but scared to show anything else just incase they would get smacked with a tree stump or thumped on the hand to hurt them.
I have a daughter myself and have never once had to smack or hurt her to make her behave, there are other ways of showing your children the correct way to behave-and although my daughter has her moments (as we all do including adults) on the whole she behaves like a total princess-and lets face it nobody is perfect.
I find it absolutely appauling that the people who have wrote this book feel it ok to justify this kind of behaviour towards their children and even more at the people who have actually published it. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Needless to say I am making a formal complaint to Amazon and any other uk store selling this book once I have written this review.

Train your DOG, don't train your child. Child abuse, pure and simple.
25 Aug 2011
By L. Field
Format:Paperback
Currently there are several books available to buy on Amazon that advocate, endorse and advise on parenting methods that involve the physical abuse of children. Examples of titles include To Train Up A Child, by Michael and Debi Pearl; Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp; and Don't Make Me Count to Three by Ginger Plowman. Such books, and other like them, promote behaviour which is abusive of children. All of the above books advocate the use of a rod and other implements on children under one. Such behaviour is abusive to children, and it is also 'offensive', which is contrary to your Content Guidelines. It may well also be illegal, as it seems to go far beyond the 'reasonable chastisement' currently sanctioned by law in the UK. Not only is beating on a regular basis with a rod likely to leave a mark, which is illegal, it is also likely to amount to inhuman or degrading treatment, which is a breach of human rights. We wish Amazon to urgently review their decision to stock any book or other product which advises the physical abuse of children.

I can not believe this book is still on sale. Everyone knows that many children have lost their lives due to the parents following the teachings they suggest. R.I.P little angels x
