You Can't Give Vodka to a Baby: And Other Parenting Myths - Softcover
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.

About the Author:
Dr. Oliver brings a unique insight into raising children having absolutely none of his own and having no formal education past high school. But what he lacks in "book learning" he more than makes up for in life experience having been a baby, a toddler, and a child himself, and hearing lots of the guys he was detained with talking about their kids on the outside.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. You can't give vodka to a baby. and other parenting myths is a parody baby/child-raising manual. A joke. Filled with advice, diagrams, case studies and the most politically incorrect views on raising children ever put on paper. It pokes fun at the millions of books, articles, blogs and people out there who make it their business to tell other people how to raise their kids - and do it with such passive aggressive bullying verve. Written by fictitious author Dr Oliver (He got his doctorate from the same university as Dr Dre.) and filled with You can't say that! moments that will give new parents a chuckle and make them remember that raising kids isn't as complicated as the advice industry would have them believe. Or as Dr Oliver would say: Kids are quite resilient mammals. Also - they don't really remember anything until they're about 4 years old so you got a bit of wiggle room. This parody baby/child-raising manual includes advice, case studies and the most politically incorrect views on raising children ever put on paper.
