Can you say the above in good conscience? If not, and frankly I couldn't...some of what you describe in your MOPS group is abusive to me (switching babies, spraying water in the face of a young child). If it were me, I would leave out that paragraph. It gives them an excuse to ignore the personal implications of the Pearl method they are following.

Okay... well.... I can say it about Leah (the one I am currently writing the letter to)... while she spanks and pinches as punishment for disobedience (which I dont' agree with), she has never done the other methods that I know of. The one who does the most is the leader of our MOPs group. I guess I should change it.
