You Can't Give Vodka to a Baby

Overview

These techniques for seeing through the manipulative neediness of children offer a refreshing and often legal take on modern parenting

It’s been said that it takes a village to raise a child. But how do you choose the right village to leave your child with—and what if that village won’t take your child? You could just leave your child outside the village and run away, but most village-people are excellent trackers and will know the surrounding terrain better than you so they’ll probably catch you. No. The answer is, you’ll have to raise the child yourself. Dr. Oliver has rushed this guide out to help you navigate the next 12-18 years of your life without falling to prey to cuteness or to feelings of blind, unconditional love that parents often suffer from. Delivered in bite-sized chunks of nutritious information much like bite-sized chunks of nutritious McDonald's Happy Meals, this book will give any parent the advice and confidence to raise their children into adults that probably won’t end up in jail or on drugs, and to build relationships slightly deeper than any you may have seen on reality TV shows.
