Spare the 1/4″ Plumbing Line, Spoil the Child ~ Salon.com
Posted on March 2nd, 2010 by DailyAtheist
From Salon.com By Lynn Harris
Saying no to “timeouts,” some fundamentalist Christians “train up” their children by carefully hitting them with switches, PVC pipes and other “chastening instruments.”
As a young, new, Christian parent, Meggan Judge, 26, of Anchorage, Alaska, was looking for guidance in raising “Godly children.” She found advice that clicked for her when a friend loaned her a popular — and controversial — Christian parenting book called “To Train Up a Child,” written in 1994 by Tennessee pastor Michael Pearl with his wife, Debi, who claim to have raised five “whineless” children. At the book’s core is the notion that when parents “train” a child to obey early on, even before he or she is able to make conscious, or conscience-based, decisions, home will be a place of peace and harmony. Here, the term “train” is a reference to Proverbs 22:6:“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
