Query: Horrible Relic from an Earlier Age

I can't believe all the positive reviews for this book. Based on them I ordered a copy from Amazon. Read it aghast. First it gives awful examples of parents who physically punish, yell, berate, humiliate, coerce, and otherwise emotionally abuse their children when they fail at potty training. Then it purports to present a "new" enlightened method. Fine. I was ready for it. But a key component of this method is to shame your child when they have an accident, and to model this shaming behavior for your child. There is even an illustration of a little girl wagging a disapproving finger at her dolly. I really hope that people aren't following this aspect of the plan. Children don't deserve to be shamed and scolded for accidents and mistakes. I read passages aloud to my husband and he was just horrified. We didn't want to give it away or resell it; we deliberated for a couple of seconds and threw it away.
