Exactly! This is precisely my point.

If the book's author claims to have THE Biblical approach to parenting, then it should apply to the weak, and lowly among us AS WELL AS the normal healthy people. And so often it doesn't.

This has been my acid test for any parenting method I run across.

And, though I know it's hard, so hard to have a special needs child, that is one BIG reason why I find Biblical Parenting by Crystal Lutton to be more *believable*. Since I know that she has used what she talks about with all types of kids - in public, in private, special needs, and very normal. Dr. Sears also seems to recognize the validity of an individual, and I'm sure that much of it is because he also has children that were *more* and different than the norm.
