WHEN THEY PICK UP BAD WORDS, laugh at them. It will encourage them to pick up "gutter phrases" that will blow the top of your head off later.
NEVER GIVE THEM ANY spiritual training. Wait until they are 21 and then let them decide for themselves.
AVOID THE USE of the word "wrong". It may develop a guilt complex. This will condition them to believe later when they are arrested for stealing a car that society is against them and they are being persecuted.
PICK UP EVERYTHING they leave lying around - books, shoes and clothes. Do everything for them so they will be experienced in throwing the responsibility on to others.
LET THEM READ any printed matter they can get their hands on. Be careful the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilised but let their mind feed on garbage.
QUARREL FREQUENTLY in the presence of children. Then they won't be too shocked when the home is broken up.
GIVE THE CHILD all the spending money they want. Never let them earn their own. Why should they have things as tough as you had them?
SATISFY THEIR EVERY CRAVING for food, drink and comfort. See that every desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration.
TAKE THEIR PART against the neighbours, teachers and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.
WHEN THEY GET into real trouble, apologise for yourself by saying, "I never could do anything with them".
PREPARE FOR A LIFE OF GRIEF - "You will have it."
