This book makes the point of a well deserved spanking, July 29, 1999
Reviewer: A reader
When I read this book last march my son was slipping horribly in school. My son is 17 years old and graduated with flying colors from his Junior year (a 98 on one of his Regents exams!). When he was little and acted up (through grade 6) down the pants came and over the knee he went. But I faulsly belived that after that he was beyond the "spanking age." When I read this book I learned that my son needed help and I had to give it to him. He had failed or came close too, most of his finals and was in bad shape (never listened, always late, smoking, drinking) and I couldn't bare to see him bomb like that. So, one night he came home 4 hours late, I learned that he had failed 2 tests and had been smoking again. I grounded him. He threw a fit and after a bit of a screeming match I pulled over a kitchen table chair, grabbed my sons wrist, yanked down his pants and spanked him. I spanked him for a half an hour. His bottom was as red as an apple. I kept him there over my knee and explained the rules. He agreed. Of course a few other spankings followed and may still follow, but he's doing much better with the spankings. And I have this book to thank.
