  • OMG. My parents spanked me two times in my life and I hate them for years after that because as a child I only remembered that they what they were doing hurt me.

  • HE DISGUST ME!!!!

  • The holding down until a child surrenders is meant for children who have RAD and super egos. He talks of eye contact and soft words while holding. It works - its necessary with disturbed children, (unless they are very psychotic).

  • There is ALOT of love in that book. It talks about love and not quitting on kids. It does not talk about drawing blood. Its methods are far gentler than you will see in any culture/family group of animals. If a lioness does not nip a cub when it is too rough, it will grow up to be an abusive bully unable to work in it society and it will starve to death. Discipline is for the benefit of teaching society rules.

  • Ugh, there is a huge difference between following book advice and being psychotic, then blaming a book to try and escape the law.

  • I love these guys who have degrees teaching people how to raise children. My grandparents spanked me on occasion. I love them deeply. I am not in counseling. I don't have nightmares. These people are on a misson and its not a good one.

  • what a discusting human being. I have 5 kids and I have never raised a hand to them. I know how to discipline my children the PRPOER way. Good Lord, who does this guy think he is???

  • I'm just happy that physical abuse of any kind (including spanking, say what you want about that) is illegal in my country and has been so for a long time.

    You can raise your children into well-adapted and healthy individuals without EVER laying hands on them.

  • God has ruined humanity

  • oh my god 8:18 230million americans advocate this?

  • this isn't really discipline. his methods are more of torture. my parents spanked me and i think it WAS discipline but they didn't sit on me lol

  • dumb

  • see the world ran by women. notice how many times they have to cut him off while he's trying to explaim what's in the book. they don't want to hear anything.

  • Sometimes free speech goes too far! this is one sick twisted motherfucker, why is not in jail!

  • she is an actress , he is been set up as crazy bible believer, ive see hundreds of times women batter their children and they didn't believe in god

  • Alright, having now watched to the end of that ugly little show, I want to make two contrasting points: 1) how do you know what to believe when the man being accused is never given a chance to speak? and 2) I actually do a gree that spanking your child methodically and continually for the slightest infractions is abusive and to be detested; love, patience, and communication should always come first; but I cannot agree with the broad statements being made here that all spankings are abuse.

  • [continued] and they were raised up to be respectful and lawful, and having an healthy fear of God. But you people would let your children become narcassistic self-centered monsters. Well, you are on the wrong side, and you are destroying this generation by ruining your children. And you are wrong to criticize the Pearls: for they, by all appearances (and what else have we?) have raised up a wonderful, sweet family that loves God and loves each other.

  • If discipline is so terrible than we should open up all our prisons and free the inmates and no person, no matter how evil (even if he is Hitler) should go to Hell. If discipline is so terrible there should never be correction or justice at all. Then you must stand back and allow a world of increasing barbarity to raise your children after its wicked ways because you would not restrain them from it. But as for me, I still remember an older generation that had good discpline from loving parents

  • Beat the child so their will is completely broken?! It pains me that he can even think of this! Keep beating your children and you'll be raising obedient, soulless, terrified-of-you drones.

  • Why isn't this idiot in an asylum ???

  • I was spanked since i was 5 or 6 but never abused and never got spanked for stupid shit. I respect and love my parents, I've got a good education, good job, and loving fiancee and I take no mental meds. I don't abuse anybody from bein spanked either. you just gotta know when to use it. for not eating broccoli? hell no! maybe a grounding or no dessert or somethin but def not spanking. For purposely hitting your dog with a stick or pushing your little sister down then yes, spank em for that.

  • @Tantravekt Mike and Debi Pearl would beat their children for not eating oats. It's in their book to Train Up A Child on Page 55 "If a father is attempting to make a child eat his oats, and the child cries for his mother, then the mother should respond by spanking him for whining for her and for not eating his oats. He will then be glad to be dealing only with the father."

  • Good Lord. Spanking is not violence. The people she saw went waaaaayyyyy out of line. Spanking has been around for ages!! Are people getting stupider or something??? Why can't we handle this anymore???

  • everybody pull that man's beard, then see how he likes pulling hair.

  • It doesn't make your child afraid of you? Jesus Christ on a piece of toast! It's logic! If you inflict pain on me, physical or emotional, I'm going to avoid you out of fear! It's basic psychology!

    Just look at the animal kingdom! Dogs get violent when they're exposed to violence..

    Gah, why am I even..? You're supposed to re-enforce good behavior with positive things.

  • @EarthlyMaidenLita Are you a parent? My wife and I have a wonderful child who does get rewarded for doing well; but unfortunately that isn't usually enough to elicite her obedience. When she doesn't want to eat her dinner, no promises of dessert will get her to eat it. She will stubbornly throw a fit and defy us instead. So what should we do, let her go hungry? That would be neglect. She needs her nutrition. So we spank for disobedience because it works, it teaches, and...she still loves us!

  • @ApocalypseWatcher Well, there's a difference there. She's not afraid of you. The difference is that he's using fear to get the children to do what he wants, in your case it's psychological conditioning. In your case it's 'good begets good, bad begets bad', in his case it's 'I'm afraid of my guardian, so I'd better not mess up'.

    I'm not a parent, you could probably tell. I have no problem with spanking, if you gotta do it, you gotta do it.

  • Spanking is childabuse! No matter the so-called "method". I have a masters degree in pedagogics: believe me, there are other ways of getting better results, non of which involve putting your children in harms way, be it psychological or physical harm.

  • @bettybundgaard You have a masters degree in being programmed how to think. Is your child impressed with your degree? When he/she disobeys, do you point to it and tell them that you've been taught by men in gowns to know what is good for them? Or have you been too busy plugging in to the party line to have had time for children yet? Or are yours the little miscreants I see schrieking at the tops of their lungs and pulling away from you in the parking lot because you didn't get them their candy?

  • @bettybundgaard no no no spanking is not abuse now of course this Michael Pearl is extreme. I've been spanked in my youth and I'm sorry I turned out to be be a great grown up and I will not let you say no matter what degree you have that my parents were abusers it's just nor true.

  • stupid fukin trash

  • thank you for uploading this.

    I can't express how appalled I am at this man

  • Can't watch it anymore. So ignorant, violent and stupid. So US. Sorry for the exceptions.

  • @blondecat666

    Go away. I'm tired of your ignorant comments. 

  • He shouldn't have went on such a biased show. He couldn't get a word n edgewise! If u have a talk show, ur supposed 2 b unbiased. Mayb he should just talk about kissing boys and fashion. Everybody would get their ideas across then.

  • Sick sick sick sick. Can't say anything more.

  • I never thought I would do that, but 'first' :-)
