How to Ruin Your Child in 7 Easy Steps

Reading this pointed advice based on the Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Virtues, Tom Hatting performs with exceptional skill and a notable degree of friendliness. He's so pleasing to hear that he makes the message in this audiobook irresistible, even to listeners who may not identify with fundamentalist Christian views. Prayers and interpretations of God's wishes aside, the authors offer easy-to-follow lists of parental practices associated with each vice, any of which can lead children down the wrong path. Hatting's vocal charm makes these admonitions sound surprisingly fresh and appealing--like part of a joyous adventure in managing our bad selves. His beguiling performance works even better with the latter part of the audiobook, which focuses on the right and wrong ways to teach our children the Seven Virtues. T.W.
