How can parents tell if they've given control of their home to their children How can a child be trained to obey quickly when spoken to calmly and only one time? What's gone wrong when chastisement doesn't work? How can appropriate punishments be determined? What are the most subtle signs of rebellion? How do parents accidentally train their children to disobey them? What can be expected of children at what ages? What exactly is sass and how can it be stopped?

I close this book with mixed feelings. Please note that I read the first addition, and all my comments should be read with that in mind. As I understand, the second edition is at least twice as long.
This book is a mismashed list of half-developed ideas. Many of them have the potential for provoking great thought and discussion but their underdeveloped state leave a hazy and confusing target for parents aiming at improved child training. The style of the book leaves so much to be desired that I waffle on whether to recommend it or not. However, he brought up enough situational ethics and described enough unintentional results of poor parenting that I must suggest people read it if they already have developed some philosophy of parenting. I recommend it because it may provoke helpful discussion between spouses. I also recommend reading his description of the goal of parenting. I have yet to find such a thorough and clear definition. No one will agree with each of his points, but many may profit from devoting thought toward how to train their child well.
