Query: Lack of discipline leads to Columbine

These smarmy, self-righteous reviewers who think an occasional spanking will devastate children for life need to get a clue. Certainly corporal punishment can be abused, but that is not what Dr. Dobson is advocating. I am guessing that those giving this book 1 star are: a) not parents b) haven't read the book or c) have children that run all over them. Limited spanking is a tiny part of this book, the focus is on common sense discipline.If you want children that have tantrums in stores, roll their eyes at you at every opportunitity and end up resenting you trying to be their buddy rather than their parent, then leave this book on the shelf and read Hillary's treatise on child rearing instead(which is working so well with her oft soused daughter in England). If you are open to the common sense rules of parenting that worked well in this country for generations, give Dr. Dobson a try.
