** WHEN HE PICKS UP BAD WORDS, laugh at him. It will encourage him to pick up "cuter phrases" that will blow the top of your head off later.

** NEVER GIVE HIM ANY SPIRITUAL TRAINING. Wait until he is 18 and then let him decide for himself.

** PICK UP EVERYTHING he leaves lying around - books, shoes, clothes. Do everything for him so he will be experienced in throwing the responsibility on to others.

** AVOID THE USE OF THE WORD WRONG. It may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him to believe later when he is arrested for stealing a car that society is against him and he is being persecuted.

** LET HIM READ any printed matter he can get his hands on. Be careful the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilised, but let his 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 he wants. Never let him earn his own. Why should he have things as though as you had them?

** SATISFY HIS EVERY CRAVING for food, drink and comfort. See that every desire is gratified. Denial might lead to harmful frustration.

** TAKE HIS PART AGAINST NEIGHBOURS, teachers and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.

** WHEN HE GETS INTO REAL TROUBLE, apologise for yourself by saying "I never could do anything with him".

PREPARE FOR A LIFE OF GREIF....... YOU WILL HAVE IT.
