Spoiler for Hidden:

The Pearls advocate hitting children with tree branches, belts and other "instruments of love" to instill obedience, and recommend that toddlers who take slowly to potty training be washed outdoors with cold water from a garden hose. Their book advocates "training sessions" in which infants, as soon as they are old enough to crawl, are placed near a desired object and repeatedly struck with a switch if they disobey commands not to touch it.<br><br>
