How to Be the Parents of Happy And Obedient Children
This book is for parents who believe that children are born in sin and need discipline to guide them to do right.If you believe that children are born perfect and need only nurturing to bring out the natural good in them this book is not for you. You may even find it offensive.The book is entirely founded on literal, Biblical standards with two parts: The Biblical family and Biblical child training.In the first part the author outlines in detail God's design for the family. He includes the headship order, the role of the father, the wife and children. There is a chapter on serving together as a family. Although the author points out in the introduction that "this section is not intended to be an in depth study on the husband wife relationship. (There are presently many fine books written on this subject.) Rather the principles important to laying a proper foundation in the home that are vital to the successful training of happy and obedient children are covered."The second part focuses on the author's four part training box: Love, discipline, teaching and example. The author also comments on this section "no one chapter in this section is the key to training happy and obedient children. The chapters must be taken as a whole."In Love he highlights the biblical love and natural love that is needed by children. Discipline part one goes over the when and why a child needs discipline. Discipline part two discusses the how and where a child should receive discipline. He uses Bible verses literally in reference to spanking and gives the reasoning behind it. The teaching chapter encourages parents to have formal and spontaneous teaching from the Bible. Lastly, he illustrates the vital role parents have as Biblical examples to their children.For someone looking to shape their family after the literal design from the Bible this book gives clear, understandable instruction.

This is NOT "another whipping book". It was and still is the best book on training children that we ever read. Spanking is not meant to be the focus of this book. If the readers would balance the 4 sides of the training box, which are LOVE, TRAINING, EXAMPLE, and then DISCIPLINE, they would find that the "whipping" (which is really spanking administered only when called for and administered in a loving, godly way) is very rarely necessary. Our children were, and now our grandchildren are being raised on the principles of this book, which, by the way, are the principles of the Bible. We never seem to go anyhwere that some stranger doesn't comment on what sweet, well-behaved children we have.This book taught us the importance of loving and training our children and to be consistent, fair, and timely with discipline. So, after being taught what behavior was expected from them, seeing us model that behavior, and loving them in a way that caused them to always feel secure, they received necessary discipline and were and are truly "happy and obedient children".If used properly, the training methods in this book will cause you to realize what a gift your children are and allow you to enjoy them every day. Isn't that what God intended?

How can these atrocities be promoted in this country? Zero stars. I saw poor Beth Fenimore's picture on the stoptherod site and was brought to tears. You can see the sadness and anxiety in her face from being subjected to these archaic, barbaric methods. Beth, I send hugs to you for being brave enough to write the letter and confront this sick sadistic man. There is nothing Christian about these teachings.

This book changed the way i thought about parenting i loved everything about it and i loved the christian approach that it had because it was the right balance of it, it wasnt overly religious where it was irritating to read, and it didnt just throw around the bible when it was convenient to make a point, and at the same time it stuck to the subject of parenting and ultimately gave timeless advice ^_^ i loved it!!! <3 <3

This book is sick- there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why this book should be in print. Its an excuse and a guide to parents wanting to perform child abuse. The mental damage that discipline of this kind cause are life changing, life changing in a bad way, not creating a "happy and obedient" child. Amazon should be ashamed to sell such ridiculous parenting filth.I wish there was a zero stars option.

Again the word of a loving God has been taken out of context. This man advocates beating babies in diapers with sticks because sticks cause more pain then paddles, belts etc. He says not to be concerned about marks the spanking leaves on your child's bottom for weeks at a time!!! This is child abuse. There is nothing loving about it. What's more it's illegal.
