?A `must-read' book about the spanking controversy that should be of interest to parents, parent educators, and mental health professionals.? --Charles E. Schaefer, coauthor of How to Talk to Your Kids About Really Important Things

"A good addition to most public library parenting collections."

"In this informative text, Hyman shores up his passion for children's rights with logic and research."

"[Hyman] presents a convincing arguement against spanking in the home and includes a Parent Punitive Quiz by which readers can measure their attitudes toward punishment."
