Re: Which Kevin Leman book for DH?
Are you getting the books to sway your dh into a certain form of discipline, or is he pretty well set into the GBD-mindset? I haven't read either of the books, but I did skim "Have a New Kid by Friday" at a FOTF conference. He does advocate spanking for a defiant child, and he includes at least one letter from a parent in his book that proudly talks about dragging her four year old out of bed because she wouldn't sleep and locking her out of the house until she stopped crying and went to sleep.
Other than that, though, I got the impression it was pretty middle-of-the-road parenting advice, and he definitely seems to be the type of person that will click with dads. If it's not a scenario where your dh will take those examples and run with them AFA spanking, I might try that book. Going by the speech I heard from him at the conference, it seemed like there would probably be a lot more good than bad in it.
Let me know if you get it. DH wants it too.
