Publisher Description
To Train Up a Child, first published in 1994, began as a letter to a homeschool mother in answer to her question, How did you train your children to be so happy and obedient? Mike did not consider himself to be an author, nor did Debi possess the means or the knowledge to publish a book. They realized that it was a big subject that could not be put into a few pages, so they wrote a book. Friends and neighbors were consulted, gleaning their views and methods of child training. They analyzed how they were influenced by the traditions they inherited from their parents, and they looked at the methods that were unique to their family. Friends and members of their church periodically read and critiqued the manuscript as it grew to book size. Twenty one years later, To Train Up a Child has sold over 1.2 million copies in twelve languages. TTUAC has been on Amazon s best-seller list several times. This new book has added chapters and several updates. Mike and Debi have received tens of thousands of letters of gratitude and been approached by thousands of young people thanking them for their influence in the way they were raised their parents having implemented the principles expressed in TTUAC. Mike and Debi are humbled to have played a part in so many young people s lives. There has been no editing to modify their stance on spanking. To the contrary, due to the media attacks, they have expanded and strengthened their arguments for traditional, biblical child training. There are now more than a million TTUAC books circulating in the United States that will continue to stand for traditional, biblical parenting.

Great principals!
This book has wonderful principals to build a foundation off of. Do you have to raise your children the same way as them? NO! By all means, read the book and spit out the seeds that don’t fit with your life. This book teaches parents how to raise children who are obedient and who have respect for their parents and strict boundaries.
This is not about “abuse”
Clearly those who claim this book advocates abuse, do not have the eyes to see or minds to understand.
Did these people read where it talks about “training” so you do not have to discipline? Probably not. Do you tell your child “no” and expect them to obey? Yes.
How do you teach your child to obey - by training them to listen, and they do not listen, there is a consequence.
There are consequences in life - whether as a child or adult.
My guess would be that anyone who says this book is about abuse, also claimed that the rioters (where they burned cars and looted stores) were “peaceful protestors”.
Side note - those so called “peaceful protestors” were clearly not trained or disciplined as children…
SMH.
Horrible
To Abuse a Child. Good parents do not beat their children. Period. This “book” gives their followers the green light to beat their children and even tells them how to do it, what implements to use and where on the body to beat them, so that the abuse doesn’t leave marks that other ppl will see. Ppl who actually know how to parent their children don’t beat them. Debi even tells mothers to pull their baby’s hair if it accidentally bites while breastfeeding. Accidentally biting during breastfeeding can happen when the baby is no longer latched on; as in when it’s getting full. You don’t inflict torture on a baby.
