I realise this has probably been raised before but I have only just become aware of this parenting book vile piece of shite, currently available for sale on amazon. The book advocates whipping babies as young as 4 months to "train" them to obey:
"At four months she was too unknowing to be punished for disobedience. But for her own good, we attempted to train her not to climb the stairs by coordinating the voice command of "No" with little spats on the bare legs. The switch was a twelve-inch long, one-eighth-inch diameter sprig from a willow tree."
Many more sickening quotes on this anti site Why Not To Train A Child
There's a petition to stop Amazon from selling it here: amazon refuse to carry books which advocate the physical abuse of children
Great blog piece here: amazon we find child abuse offensive
