As a physician and a mother, I have found the Babywise/Toddlerwise/Childwise series to be extremely helpful for raising and training my children! As an aside, I raised my daughter using the principles in Babywise. I nursed her for 8 months, and never experienced difficulty with optimal weight gain. My daughter slept through the night at 9 weeks, and was a happy baby. I am often complemented by friends and work colleagues about how well-behaved my children are, and I owe much of that to the Ezzo texts for teaching me some practical things about child-rearing.
For those of you with children between 2 and 3, you may find further useful information in the next edition, Childwise (ages 3-7). There was not as much information in the Toddlerwise edition about controlling/preventing certain behaviors (e.g., tantrums), but I found a wealth of information in the Childwise edition.
I will say that I felt the potty training section in Toddlerwise was less helpful to me. I did purchase their recommended text, Toilet Training in Less Than a Day (also recommended by Dr. Phil), and found it to be inspiring, but somewhat disappointing.
For the contemplative parent, who is considering this purchase:
Yes, there is a foundation based on Biblical principle, with practical applications. If you find offense in Bible-based theories, then don’t bother with the Ezzo series, because you lack the foundation on which to build these principles. If you are the type of parent that seeks to be “an equal partner” with your child, don’t bother. The principles presented in the Ezzo texts will continually challenge your parenting philosophy. For those who seek a method of *training*, with practical applications, and are up to the challenge of active parenting, then this may be just what you are looking for. It sure has been for my family, and I continue to refer to many of the Ezzo guidelines as I raise my children. Our children are the envy of our friends and family for their good behavior. Sure, they have their bad days just like any other person, but you’ll never see them on Nanny 911…

We use the common sense methods in the author’s book Baby Wise and Child Wise, and we are thrilled. Our children, now 3 and 7, are happy and healthy. They both slept through the night at very early ages, and have no problems putting themselves to sleep. Their regular schedules and knowledge of behavioral boundries makes them confident and secure. My 7 year old excels at school, loves piano and French and is well liked by classmates, teachers and other parents.
Those who denounce these books seem to have more of a political opposition to the author than a genuine concern for raising children, and the extremist rhetoric makes that obvious. Take it from a parent who has actually read and used these principles–they work!

Used it with two children and love it! As with any parenting book, take what you want and leave the rest. Use common sense, etc. Also used Babywise. Both of my children (now 4 and 6) are 100% healthy (since birth) and happy! I get compliments all the time from my babysitters that they love to babysit my children!
Just read it yourself from page one to the end. Then decide.
