Wow. that is a leap. I read on another board (or maybe it was here, I don't know) that just because CIO "works" doesn't mean it's good for babies. You could medicate a baby to sleep through the night and it would "work" but that would be horrible for the baby. The same is true for the Pearls methods--yes, you can beat a child into compliance, but you can't beat a child into becoming a compassionate, empathetic person who's strong enough to stand up for what's right. It's so sad. She's obviously got a real mental block to seeing the big picture. So sad.
