ETA: Okay, so they leaders of Prep for Parenting endorse things like this ... okay - that is a good case of extreme nutcases taking things to far, then. As far as Ezzo's actual book - I never recall seeing anything so pathetic, and I do believe the entire book is pretty sad!

Prep For Parenting is the church curriculum that was created by Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo. They definately advocate cio from birth. Babywise is the secular book they put out that has a lot of stuff from the curriculum removed from it for a more mainstream audience.

And Pearl talks in "No Greater Joy" when he's praising a woman spanking her 3mo about how wonderful it is and how he now hopes that people will see they can start from birth and not wait so long.

Above both of those examples is the culture that has developed among families who practice these methods who offer counsel and encouragement for situations that involve specifics the authors may not specifically use but are supportable by their ideas Very sad
