Book Reviews of Raising Godly Tomatoes
Book Review: "Bound" by Common Sense
Summary: 5 Stars
Please forgive the play on words... I couldn't help myself.
I found Mrs. Krueger's book both sensible and balanced. The simple premise is, "Keep children in sight and/or ear shot until you can fully trust them out of sight and/or earshot." While not exactly a complicated concept, it is quite revolutionary in today's parenting climate.
When you think about it, the concept is simple common sense. If children are to learn how to behave and what is and isn't acceptable behavior, we must be near them in order to demonstrate proper behavior and nip improper behavior in the bud.
I was surprised by several of the reviews. To read what some had to say, you'd think we read entirely different books. Mrs. Krueger encouraged parents to be reasonable, consistent, and most of all, loving! There is no pressure to isolate ourselves from everyone around us and where anyone got that idea, I cannot fathom! There is no encouragement to physical harshness of any kind. While Mrs. Krueger does not discourage corporal punishment, she certainly does NOT encourage the use of it on whim or for simple childishness. What is advocated in this book is, as the title says, "occasional" and obviously (if you actually read how she encourages constant loving interaction) nothing extreme or excessively harsh.
While I think the change would be initially difficult for both parent and child, embracing the simple principles of togetherness with your children and the consistent discipleship of their character will certainly foster close and loving relationships. I recommend that readers find Mrs. Krueger's website by the same name and read excerpts from the book and make an intelligent decision based upon rational assessment rather than overly dramatic misinformation.
