Child and family psychiatrist Robert Shaw says he wrote the latest book in
the child-care advice genre because he had to. After the teen shootings at
Columbine, he asked himself, "How would you have to raise your kids for
them to do this?" His answer lay in the past three decades of books on
child rearing. Although he admits there have been some stellar examples
lately - Carol Eagle's "All That She Can Be: Helping Your Daughter Maintain
her Self- Esteem," Michael Gurian's
"The Good Son" and Audrey Ricker and Carolyn Crowder's "Backtalk: Four
Steps To Ending Rude Behavior in Your Kids" - the majority have pushed a
child-centric view that elevates the child to head of the household.

This is merely pro-child-abuse rightist backlash crap. Rightists want
people to stop writing books that ssy they abuse their children, which
they DO, and the assholes in that area of Colorado are especially
abusive of their kids, these are emotionless abusive rightist
suburbanite yuppies who damage their children with abusive hyper-
expectations and emotional coldness and physical abuse, as has been
documented.

He's trying to peddle child abuse as child rearing, because he has a
fixation on retributive violence and coercion as some magical element
of a "healthy" childhood, chiefly because he is working in his adult
and professional life with a stark agenda to justify the abuse his
parents visited upon HIM!
