Best way to toughen up an infant?

[Coco]

We have a thread in the Cigar Lounge about how parents need to stop shielding their children. I didn't actually read the thread, but I have a pretty good feeling that there's a good discussion to be had on HOW parents should toughen up their child once they've decided that shielding them breeds *****es and social workers who produce nothing of monetary value.

Vote or contribute your own unique ideas. After all, this thread isn't just about my parenting strategies. We can all share.

Shake 'em

Some "loving" parents already do that. You'll have to do better.

Better than any of your options.

Shock treatment.

Yeah, if you want your kid to grow up to be a social worker.

It's a great career.

It produces nothing of value. I heard somewhere that shit like that is why the economy is in the tank. Personally, I think it's pretty solid logic.

The can help abused children.

Or, if they're corrupt, just continue to abuse them.

 

[Coco]

That's where the real money's at.

Just ask Nike.

Expose them to "telenovelas".

Leave your babies out on a hill side for 2 days. If the baby isn't dead or eaten by woodland critters after the two days, bring him or her home.
That's something the Spartans used to do. And look how hardcore they were.

Teach them how to drive. It worked for Brittany Spears' kids.

Equip the child with Lamarckian inheritance; repeatedly kill and clone the child and then bring about Doomsday

I'd do that if I wasn't afraid he/she would dry up and wrinkle.

Nothing says "Tough Love" and "I mean business" like knifing a Care Bear while forcing your 3 yr old to watch, helplessly, as you rip the stuffing out and bleed its cotton onto the floor.

I'm just sayin...

Some of you people just need to be loved it seems.

Anyways... hang them upside down by their big toes and tell them they have 12 hours to escape or else they will be forced to watch a Michael Jackson crotch grabbing marathon.

When you know they're lying just break out the waterboard, teaches them honesty.

 

[Coco]

And it's completely harmless.

 

[Leafy]

it's a win win situation
