- Begin with infancy to give child everything he wants.
- When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This makes him think he is cute.
- Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is 21 and let him “decide for himself.”
- Avoid use of word “wrong.” It may develop a guilt complex.
- Pick up everything he leaves lying around.
- Let him read any printed matter he gets his hands on. Be careful silverware and glasses are sterilized, but let his mind feast on garbage.
- Quarrel frequently in the presence of children.
- Give a child all the money he wants. Never let him earn his own.
- Satisfy his every craving for food, drink or comfort.
- Take his part against neighbors, teachers, and policemen.
- When he gets into real trouble, apologize to yourself by saying, “I never could do anything with him.”
- Prepare for a life of grief, because you will have it.[1][1] Quoted in Charles Swindoll, You and Your Child, pp. 63-64.
