I have a 21 month old daughter. We have never followed a certain style of parenting. We tend to lean towards attachment parenting. (feeding on demand, picking up child when crying, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, etc.) I have always tried to do things that felt right in my heart. Anyway, the reason I am posting is because you've asked several times about Dr. Dobson's parenting books. I have also looked into these books because I have always loved Dr. Dobson's other teachings. I decided his approach was not for me after reading some parts of his books. He talks about having a fight with his dog and hitting it so hard that it never disobeyed again. He advises to hit a 9 month old on the back of the leg with a switch when they try to climb the stairs. He suggests poking an uncooperative baby with the diaper pin while changing them. All of these things were red flags to me. But you should decide for yourself. Here is a link to his most popular book on parenting:
