Re: The Pearl children are so happy??
Personally, I like to assume a positive intent. The Pearls kids very well may be very happy. The Pearls methods obviously worked wonderfully for them. I would be interested in knowing how often they had to hose down their own 3 year olds, and things like that...so many of the extremely harsh things see to be advice for others, not what they needed to do for their kids. Apart from them swatting the liar son everyday at noon till he stopped being an evil liar.
I've read the letter from their daughter Rebecca. She say's she is the happiest person she knows. I find that comment to be a bit over the top. Who is she trying to convince? Maybe she really is? Of course it could be true. I hope it is. |

But, what could have happened to make her like that? I ask it again. . .do the ends justify the means? And how in the world did they know that the evil liar stopped lying? If he was anything like me, he just got so good at it that it appeared that way. It also falls back on one of the things they make clear. . .start young and do not give mercy. Start so young that it is ingrained in them like instinct, and be ruthlessly consistant. They will never remember. How many here could remember something from when they were 6 months old? A year old? |
