Babywise was the only book anyone gave me on parenting. So I used it with #1. When I finally had computer access and could research it, I was appalled and it was too late. Then someone gave me To Train Up a Child. Ugh. Researched that one right away, considering it was the same person who gave me Babywise. Do I still have both books? YES! They are hidden on my bookshelf for me to reference when I need to refute all the other moms that use it. Now if anyone gives me others, I trash them.

Wow, I wonder how you missed out on that?! Thank Goodness you did, though. : I'd just put it in the trash rather than even recycling.

I had the BEST TIME last week destroying two copies of this thing they call a book.... I was at Half-Price Books and found TWO copies for $2 each, and you'd think I hit the jackpot! I couldn't wait to buy them and joyously tear them apart and put in the trash. Ahhhh.... I know there's thousands of copies, but hey, I did my part!

I also had fun destroying my ezzo books this summer. Have to get those things out of circulation!

DUDE! That's one powerful demon-spawn baby. Wowee.

This is totally beyond my comprehension:

"When my children were able to crawl (in the case of one, roll) around the room, I set up training sessions.

Try it yourself. Place an appealing object where they can reach it, maybe in a "No-no" corner or on an apple juice table (That's where the coffee table
once sat). When they spy it and make a dive for it, in a calm voice say, "No, don't touch it." They will already be familiar with the "No," so they will pause, look at you in wonder and then turn around and grab it. Switch their hand once and simultaneously say, "No." Remember, you are not disciplining, you are training. One spat with a little switch is enough. They will again pull back their hand and consider the relationship between the object, their desire, the command and the little reinforcing pain. It may take several times, but if you are consistent, they will learn to consistently obey, even in your absence."

Pure evil, IMO.

Disgusting, tempt them so that they'll do it so you can punish them. Cops aren't even allowed to do that. What's it called when you entice someone to crime then try to punish them? I don't remember the exact name but I know it's illegal. You can't get someone to do something they wouldn't otherwise have done then punish them. That's ridiculous!

Entrapment.

Yeah I just remembered that in the car today. I was like "YES that's what it is, lol"

So yeah. That's entrapment. If police officers can't do it to people why should we do it to our kids?!?!?!
