Choose a more engaged parenting style if you want your child to be a monument to you, leaving the world a living legacy of yourself. These are the basic tenets of this ideology:
- Your child is YOU
- Your child is the perfect vessel into which to pour all your hopes, aspirations and ambitions as it is easier to mould and train than to discipline yourself
- The world will benefit from having this revised edition of you
- Perfection is not just a goal, it is the only possible state
Getting the Most Out of Your Child
Your child will have work very hard to meet your expectations if you opt for this model, but don't worry - with your strict guidance and relentless discipline, your child will only be slightly disappointing.
To make sure that your child keeps up their efforts and delivers the best results, remind them frequently that they are responsible for your happiness and well-being. Begin this indoctrination as early as possible; infants understand much more than they let on. |
Be Mindful of Your Sacrifice
By taking an engaged approach, you are sacrificing a lot of time, effort and money that could have otherwise be spent on you.
Instill in your child how much you have given up for them and how they must repay you by being perfect, there for you (always and forever!) and by doing everything you demand. Merely following orders is not sufficient; a good child will instinctively know what you want and shoot way over the goal in order to please you. |
