Thanks so much for writing this post. I’ve never followed TTUAC, but did get sucked into the Ezzo methods with my first child. Your post helped put words to how I feel about child rearing methods like Ezzo and Pearl. Very well said.

Hello, I stumbled upon this web site following the recent news reports, wondering what this book is. I also read other discipline and parenting books following great difficulties with my son. My son was extremely rigid and had to have things his way. People gave me all sorts of advice and thought I should have established a smacking program, and generally thought I was (and still am) a bad parent. Turned out my son has Asperger syndrome, which is an autism spectrum disorder. He CAN NOT comprehend that there could possibly be an outcome to any situation other than the outcome he has in mind, and he has great difficulty transferring learning from one situation to any situation that is even ever so slightly different. I am SO GLAD I never listened to anyone’s advice to lay a hand on him. Yes, we have had to adjust our lives and do many of the things this book apparently warns people will happen if you are lenient, and it has been a tremendous strain on my life, my husband’s life, and our marriage. My son may never establish a true connection with another person due to his Aspergers; my meeting him “half way” has enabled us to establish a deep, trusting relationship that is so essential for him to stay connected to the real world. Please, get the word out that one should not judge people whose children have great difficulty with social rules and emotional regulation; much more often than not, a child with behavioral problems has a neurological dysfunction that prevents them from being able to follow the rules. Expecting an extremely rigid child to respond positively to a very rigid discipline program is definitely not a realistic expectation.

Beautiful! My husband and I will be celebrating 19 years next Monday! Just found your blog on the Tapestry of Grace website. This is our first full year using TOG and we have started with Year 1. So far, my kids love it! I look forward to reading more of your blog and what all you do in your co-op!

I think you handled the material and this review very wisely. Your opinion reflects my own experience as well! I’m saddened that our family’s first years are a little dark because of my own attempts to apply what I learned using these books. But the Lord has been faithful and will continue to show His astounding grace to us on this path even when we misstep time and again.

Thank you for your graciousness in this post; a true reflection of His…
