Parenting: The Bottom Line was born out of the never-ending controversy of whether or not spanking should be used as a disciplinary tool by parents. In response to this hot topic, author Ron Mackey examines the role of the parent as disciplinarian and the importance of raising children to understand the difference between good and bad behavior. Guiding and nurturing children with love and patience will establish a solid foundation allowing them to grow up to become responsible adults.All too often, parents in today's society postpone using any kind of discipline with their children until they are old enough to understand the reason for the punishment. But by postponing this critical part of the growth cycle, they discover that their children have developed behavior that has become so deeply ingrained that the habits can't be easily broken.Parenting: The Bottom Line provides insight and useful information that is designed to help parents overcome some of the difficulties that they may encounter, as they raise their bundles of joy from infancy to adulthood.
Ron Mackey graduated with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2003. He is a twenty-year United States Air Force veteran; a school bus driver for the Clark County School District and is currently an alternative sentencing domestic violence contract instructor for the City of Las Vegas Municipal Court.

Personal Note by Anthony M. Wright, Esq.
This book is an essay written by a man who has served as a school bus driver in Clark County for many years, perhaps even on school busses that I rode on. The essay is Mr. Mackey's belief about raising children with corporal punishment based on his observations over the years of his own parenting and the parenting of others. He is an advocate for smack on the rump and mentions school districts that use it. He believes that children turn out to be good adults if they are sometimes disciplined with a non-violent whack on the bottom. I am not sure what to think of corporal punishment myself, having been at the receiving end of it when it was undeserved, however the United States Constitution guarantees that parents can raise their children how they see fit so long as they do not abuse or neglect their children. I can say, as an attorney, that corporal punishment is legal in the State of Nevada, but a parent must not leave a mark or be excessive.
