About this ebook

Popular actress and stand-up comedienne Elizabeth Beckwith gives us the parenting guide to end all parenting guides: Raising the Perfect Child through Guilt and Manipulation. A frequent guest on The Late, Late Show and one of seven comics featured in the Time magazine article, “Funny: The Next Generation,” Beckwith now puts forth a hilarious new parenting philosophy that would shock Dr. Spock and traumatize T. Berry Brazelton. Raising the Perfect Child through Guilt and Manipulation is a riotously irreverent take on contemporary child rearing.

    Comedienne Elizabeth Beckwith espouses sure methods to raise your child to be better than any other. It all comes down to simple principles of guilt and manipulation to keep your children in line by ingraining deep feelings of shame so they continue to behave when you're not around.Examples of some chapters:Creating a Team of Us vs. ThemHow to Scare the Crap Out of Your Child (in a Positive Way)Don't be Afraid to Raise a NerdMind Control: Why It's a Good ThingI really wanted to like this book. The concept is fantastic, and there's some genuine wisdom mixed in along with Beckwith's family stories. The humor did get a bit too crude at times for me, and it makes me reluctant to recommend this to others folks... like my mom, who would chastise me for reading a book with "that language." (See, Beckwith? Your own book has backfired! Sorry!) It is laugh-out-loud funny at a few points, but I won't be keeping it.
