Re: So what can we DO?
Yes. Someone I sent the Salon article to concluded that it seemed biased against spanking in general, and also noted that Salon has other articles critical of the Ezzos, whose books she apparently likes. That was enough for her not to take the article too much to heart. I think a seed of doubt about the Pearls was still planted by having her read the article, but something coming from a trusted Christian source would have made a much bigger impact for her.

Re: So what can we DO?
I am thinking of getting a circuit started in the local churches. I am still mulling it over, but it hit me to do one of two things. A) a brief, "guest speaker" type thing just informing of the dangers of *his* (and maybe others') teachings..Why Not Train a Child-style. Making it very clear that this it NOT about spanking, NOT about parenting, etc..just about the teachings..leaning heavily on the heresy type stuff, etc...or B) (which I am leaning more toward) getting workshops going..Practical Parenting or something that *is* offering parenting techniques, etc, tips, advice, methods (since that is clearly what ppl want), but NO corporal punishment, without saying it is wrong..just not even going there, and ALL good books/sites as resources
I'm also considering a mailer/emailer to all local churches about the dangers of the books and recommending they look further and pull their support. |
