Query: Some good, but a whole lot of bad

I don't spank, personally, but I was spanked as a child and I don't think it damaged me a bit. To each his own. I checked this book out from the library after hearing all the press about it, and while I don't think I'd call Lisa Welchel a child abuser, I sure wouldn't want her raising my kids.How is giving arbitrary orders (like refusing to let a kid go to the bathroom, just to assert your authority) doing anything but confusing a kid? It sounds like Lisa's a bit of a control freak, and that's not a behavior I'd like to pass on to my kids. Disciplines IS important, but so is temperance, and so is age appropriate punishment. There were some creative ideas in here, but also a whole lot of borderline instability.I'd take this book with a whole shaker of salt, using a few of the more creative ideas and tossing the rest.
