Product Description
This book is not about discipline, nor problem children. The emphasis is on the training of a child before the need to discipline arises. It is apparent that most parents never attempt to train a child to obey. They wait until the child becomes unbearable and then explode. With proper training, discipline can be reduced to 5% of what many now practice. As you come to understand the difference between training and discipline, you will have a renewed vision for your familyno more raised voices, no contention, no bad attitudes, fewer spankings, a cheerful atmosphere in the home, and total obedience from your children. A couple, stressed out with the conflict of three young children, after spending the weekend with us and hearing some of these principles, changed their strategy. One week later, they exclaimed, "I can't believe it; we went to a friend's house, and when I told my children to do something, they immediately, without question, obeyed." These truths are not new, deep insights from the professional world of research, rather, the same principles the Amish use to train their stubborn mules, the same technique God uses to train his children.

 Loving your child God's way. October 8, 2008
I love this book. Our three children have thrived on the application of God's training techniques as laid out by the Pearls. And the past 25 years as a school administrator have shown me first hand the results of the Secular Humanist approach that opposes the Pearls: chaos reigns in their homes. The happiness of the Pearl children---and my own---is all the testimony I need to affirm where the truth is in raising well-adjusted children. Great book!
 The authors of this book are dangerous! October 6, 2008

They mention in the book that they whipped their 4 motnh old daughter.....that is just horrible. They should be arrested for child abuse.

This book is disgusting and appalling. These people have no clue how to raise children; they simply want to subjugate them. They advise parents to abuse their children and quote Bible verses to try and justify it. Discipline need not be carried out by beating your child. This book has no place in any parent's bookshelf. Do yourself a favor and check out Dr. Sears instead.
 Thank You :) September 25, 2008

I began reading this shortly before our 3rd sons 1st birthday. Thank goodness I didn't read it any later & only wish I would have gotten my hands on it earlier. I had began succombing to "the worlds" or modern psychologies form of parenting. It was wreaking havoc in my little guys life, not to mention the rest of our home. He was one cantakerous lil' man. Often pitching "royal" fits & hitting us - behaviour I'd never seen w/ our other two (hadn't "spoiled" them early on, like I had this one, responding to his every whim!). I won't say that I followed "To Train Up a Child" precisely. My parents spanked me with their own bare hand because my mother always told me that she wanted to be aware of her force. It made "this hurts me as much as it does you" ring true.
I could write so much more but just wanted to give this book my few positive remarks.
Bottom line: "The rod" should be administered lovingly not by an out-of-control, angry parent.
A Manual for Child Abuse September 23, 2008

The Pearls, who seem to have no training or background in child rearing except for raising their own children, and no religious credentials to speak of attempt to give parents a Biblical excuse for abusing their children by quoting the old "Spare the Rod" verses from the Bible. The word "rod" is used in Proverbs, i.e. Prov 13:24: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes, but the meaning of the word rod itself as used here is in reference to the implement used to guide oxen in the field, a process that was done by gentle prodding, not beating.
Having totally failed to understand the very Bible they claim to be using as a guide to child rearing, the Pearls go on to describing such disciplinary measures as whipping babies only a few months old on their bare skin. They recommend bare skin whipping throughout childhood in fact on page two, and say that the practice should be used for "every transgression."
They even recommend whipping infants because they cannot sleep, or refuse to eat, or even for crying, which is basically how a baby communicates his or her needs. Are these people insane? The truth is that their child raising technique is very popular among the right wing Christian community, especially the Dominionists, who believe that a child must be beaten into submission, much as their hero, James Dobson believes a dog should be whipped.
These people should be in jail or a mental institution, not peddling their hateful books on Amazon or anywhere else.
