Raising the Perfect Child Through Guilt and Manipulation is not one of those traditional, all-too-earnest parenting guides that, for generations, have sucked all the fun out of child rearing. The foundation of Elizabeth Beckwith's Guilt and Manipulation philosophy is simple: We do things a certain way, and everyone else is an a**hole. You can employ these essential components of Guilt and Manipulation to mold the little runts ruthlessly yet effectively into children you won't be embarrassed to admit are yours: Creating a Team: 'Us' vs. 'Them'; How to Scare the Crap Out of Your Child (in a Positive Way); Don't Be Afraid to Raise a Nerd; Mind Control: Why It's a Good Thing. Some hilarious advice, today at 7PM. http://do512.com/event/2009/11/05/elizabeth-beckwith-raising-the-perfect-child-through http://do512.com/event/2009/11/05/elizabeth-beckwith-raising-the-perfect-child-through.xml Thursday 11/05/09 20091106T010000Z/20091106T010000Z false 0 0.0 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:00:00 -0600 0 THU Bookpeople 912 Bookpeople http://do512.com/venue/bookpeople http://do512.com/venue/bookpeople.xml
