Seven Commandments to Parents
1. Do not limit the vast desires of your child, fulfill his every whim. Your requests and demands do not lead to the end and with a quiet heart do it all for the child himself - this is faster and more reliable. And be sure: your labor will not be wasted. With your own hands you will grow up a tyrant and an egoist.
2. By all means, protect the child from physical labor. God forbid you to make a child a full member of the family and instruct him to go to the store, do cleaning, washing dishes. Do not let the child spit his hands on his dirty shoes and clothes. Fence and amulets! All this taken together guarantees the alienation of the child from you, from the whole family, turns him into a lodger who has nothing to do with anyone or anything.
3. Remember that children should be taught to the mind-reason not by attack, but whenever the child catches his eye.
- I've told you a thousand times, and you. ..
- Really you still do not know what you need. ..
- You're somewhere again. ..
Continually teach and in no case to anythingaccustom, and you will successfully wipe out any respect for you from the child.
4. Without hesitation, cancel any( and most reasonable) requirement presented to the child by another adult family member. Immediately in the presence of the child, do not be shy to hoarse to argue with the household about who is smarter and who better able to educate children. Be sure that the child will take advantage of his side and will do what is easier and more pleasant. And this will inevitably lead to the devastation of the soul and mind.
5. Be sure that alcohol is poison and children will especially deeply accept this truth if you make them suggestion in a state of intoxication or during self-brewing. Teach that the mother should be treated with respect, and in the presence of the child, water it with a square swearing. And so absolutely in everything: tell the children one thing, and do the other yourself. And next to you will grow up a deceitful two-faced man.
6. Do not wait for the child to carry out the assigned task. Encourage him ahead of time, in advance, take him by bribery. The main thing let him give a promise that he will correct his behavior.and you will be rewarded: imperceptibly, the house will grow up gradually, a slacker, a lover of life.
7. Do not develop the child's independence. Teach him to live by your orders. You know better where and why you want to go, what to do, with whom to establish companionship, what kind of book to buy him, on which hill to ride, etc., etc. So you can easily turn your child into a thoughtless performer of another's will, unable to make an independent step in life and make a decision. Strictly following these rules, you, the parent, will surely grow a moral monster!
