NAK..

i read it when ds1 was still a baby as a rec from an ap board. it has a chapter on religion that is very anti-christian (if i remember correctly), but i knew that if one could parent that way, then there had to be a biblical basis.... it just made so much sense! It (along with a couple of other PD books and the internet) led me to GBD!! Praise the Lord!!!

Ok, I'll keep an eye out for that. Thanks!

Hmm... well I just finished it last night

I only came across what amount to about a 1 pg paragraph on religion so it's not too much to quickly bypass if anyone is interested in reading this book. I really enjoyed it!

I couldn't remember how much of it was.. I do remember just "ignoring" that section. It really opened my eyes to a lot of things when I was looking into gentle discipline (before I learned about GBD). It really helped me see that how I was brought up (punitively, but in love) affected me to this day. It gave me a lot to think about for sure!

I did read it and it helped me very much.
I had some of the concepts before but some we're very enlightening. And I love his style of sharing things.
If I remember well some stuff was a little extreme for me, but I couldn't name it.

I recently purchased L.R. Knost's new book "The Gentle Parent" and it is excellent. I liked that it covered all age groups.

I am looking to get Biblical Parenting (Crystal Sutton) but having a hard time finding a copy to buy. Where can you purchase this book?

There are several used Biblical Parenting books in varying conditions here on Amazon.

Has anyone read Hints on Child Training by Henry Clay Trumbull??

I have heard that it's good, but is it?

Also, has anyone read Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment by Janet Heimlich?

I hope that I'm not resurrecting a thread that's too old . . .
