And many of their followers only get this one method from the book. They point to the Pearl's children as proof that spanking/switching works. I've heard Pearl advocates consistently respond to parenting questions with "spanking" as the method of discipline while continually going back to the Proverbs as 'proof'. No creativity there. I've even heard some say that if spanking doesn't "work", keep doing it, because even if
you don't see it work, it is God's will and you should be faithful because you don't know the outcome in the future (when it's supposedly going to work).
