Spank Your Child, PLEASE covers a range of parenting and teaching topics and delivers logical advice and commentary for each. From the first chapter, it is clear that author Patrick Thompson, is in support of more traditional methods which worked for previous generations. Through careful analysis of his own childhood and his experience as a father and a teacher, he humorously and thoroughly examines both positive and negative results of methods we have used for generations as well as newly popular techniques. From supporting corporal punishment to questioning overly restrictive playground rules, no topic is too serious or too light to be examined. Whether in agreement with his ideas or not, Spank Your Child, PLEASE is sure to spark debate about our effectiveness as parents and teachers to this strange little people we call children.
