From the author: Many people remember “Bad Advice” by Grigory Oster. I wrote mine on the topic “how to raise a personality prone to addiction.” I wanted to make it “easy” and the presentation “from the opposite side” was just what I needed. There is plenty of traditional healthy lifestyle propaganda, but the roots of addiction are much deeper. This is “bad advice.” I hope you know how to distinguish between sarcasm and irony.... And you know how to draw conclusions... WARNING: Do not try to do any of these actions if you love your child!!! If you want a better fate for your children, you want them to grow up as successful, self-sufficient people, then you don’t need to do what is written in this post. Even 1 step completed can be detrimental to a child’s personality and will cause a tendency towards various addictions._________________________ The topic “Addictions and codependent relationships” is not unambiguous, not simple. The topic is rich, many are familiar with it from their own experience or from the experience of loved ones. I will tell you how to raise a drug addict, but by this I will mean a tendency towards addictions in general, not only drug addiction, but also any chemical addictions, as well as mental ones. Step 1. Take a child, the younger he is, the better (ideally an infant) . Create an emotionally unstable connection with him: do not react to his crying, do not stroke him, do not talk to him. We fed him, changed diapers and that’s it. This way the child will not develop basic trust in the world. Let him think that the world is cruel and dangerous. Step 2. At 2-3 years old, when his “EGO” begins to manifest itself, suppress all attempts to show himself. He says “I myself” - don’t listen, do it for him. Is he mischievous and doesn’t want to wear pink tights? Spit, let him roar, sulk, but go for a walk in pink tights. He should have no secrets from you and no personal territory. Step 3. Don’t let him make independent decisions. Who to be friends with? How to live? What to get involved in? Who to study? You know better, you are older! Step 4. The closer you get to adolescence, the less active human participation you show in your child’s life. Ideally, start a divorce from your partner or go headlong into your career. Step 5. Make sure that the child has “suspicious elements” in his environment. Step 6. (to be sure) Get yourself addicted to gaming, TV, coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, sects, idols... Whatever, the main thing is that the child sees how good you feel when you are with the subject of your addiction. __________________WARNING: Don’t even try to do anything of these actions if you love your child!!!
