As he writes about respect, discipline and consideration for others, Arnold says what most educators feel to be true. But too many of them are holding back their feelings out of fear, and it is the children who are being hurt.

Gerard Gretzinger, former superintendent, Kingston City Schools, New York

Wise, gentle, and full of hope and common sense, this is a book for today's parents, who are trying to raise children to be happy and good in a world where crude, ugly, and violent alternatives surge into children’s hearts and minds all the time. Arnold writes with courage, taking a clear spiritual and moral approach which could get lots of criticism today. This gives us all an extra reason for reading, and passing on to others, this delightful book.

Joanna Bogle, British journalist and author

Arnold is one hundred percent correct in his observation that children are unwelcome in our culture, and his book Why Children Matter is clear, truthful and courageous.…His message needs to be heard loud and clear.
