The fact that the authors appeared on Family Life Today made me even more skeptical, haha.  Mr. Turansky <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hippiemommy.com\/2006\/10\/12\/242\/#comment-5886\">graciously responded to my criticisms<\/a>, and I must humbly admit that I was wrong.  I think I misjudged some of his words.  I think that I can accept the things that I disagreed with once I look at them in the context of the entire book.<\/p>\n<p>I would absolutely recommend this book to parents on either side of the parenting spectrum.  I sincerely believe that my friends who are into punitive parenting would enjoy and learn from this book without being immediately turned off, and I think that my AP\/GBD friends would love it just as much.   I think it is fully in line with AP philosophy.  I especially appreciated the final chapter.  It focuses on how our children are not just our children, but also our brothers and sisters in Christ.  I wish that more parents thought about this fact.  I know that I am guilty of forgetting it very often.  I was so impressed to see a mainstream Christian book that tackled this subject.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I would happily recommend this book to any parent.  I even listed (and immediately sent out) my copy on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paperbackswap.com\/index.php?n=7&amp;r_by=punkie\">paperbackswap<\/a>, so that another parent could have access to this excellent resource.   I am very strict about what I paperbackswap, because I would never want to send something on that I felt was not encouraging or uplifting for the family who will receive it.  That is why I have a horrific copy of &#8220;Withhold Not Correction&#8221; sitting on my shelf that my mother-in-law gave me years ago.  I do NOT want any other family to see someone suggest that you switch your children with a tree branch from your own yard!<\/p>\n<p>Back on topic though&#8230;  You can read my previous entries about <em>Say Goodbye&#8230;<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hippiemommy.com\/category\/books\/parenting-and-families\/say-goodbye-to-whining-complaining-and-bad-attitudes-in-you-and-your-kids-turansky-and-miller\/\">on this page<\/a>.
