How To Raise Your Daughter Without Reading A Book: One Dad's Rules to Live By

How To Raise Your Daughter Without Reading A Book – One Dad’s Rules To Live By is an inspiring and sometimes funny book written by first time author Christopher Hoyt. On September 25, 1992, everything changed in the author’s life. On that day, his daughter Kirstin was born. To complicate matters, 15 months later his marriage died. The sense of not knowing how to raise his child seemed like an overwhelming task. What if he made a mistake? What if he didn’t do the right things? For the first time in his career he hadn’t been given an SOP, a training manual, or even a lesson plan. He was a trained police officer. Where was his manual? He uses short stories to show how he used daily activities to teach his daughter life’s lessons. After each story is a Rule To Live By. An example of a rule is “The value of time is far more precious than the value of things.” Whether you’re a parent, a grandparent, an aunt or an uncle, you will find this book interesting and inspiring.

5Redefining what it means to be a father  Sep 18, 2010
By K. Mansouri
Reading has always been one of the most challenging aspects of parenting. Do you allow your child to be exposed to the filth and immorality contained in the myriad of volumes in print, or does one choose to raise a child without the horrible experience that is reading books? The author beautifully illustrates how one can find fun and educational ways to deny one's daughter access to books. He also establishes some essential rules that a father needs to live by in order to make sure his daughter does not read a single book: regular room raids, using duct tape on curtains to prevent exposure to the outside world, how to trick social workers and snooping neighbors, and most importantly using enhanced interrogation techniques developed by the US army to makes sure she isn't lying.

This heartfelt story of emotional manipulation, isolation and Stockholm syndrome is sure to bring fathers and daughters closer.

1I can't seem to get past the title  Sep 18, 2010
By Christopher M. Cardenas "Time Waster"
Is it just me or is this title a little misleading? How am I supposed to take a book seriously that recommends NOT reading it?

5A Great Book for Those Who Can't Read  Sep 19, 2010
By Chris
If you are looking at this review and can't read, then take my advice and stop right now and buy this book. This amazing book will tell you how to raise your daughter (a lot of the lessons actually apply to sons too!) without reading a single word. For those parents who can't read, then this is the best (and probably most important) paperback they will ever crack open.

Why waste time and much more money on parenting classes or asking people for advice when you could put that time and money into this book. It really has everything the illiterate parent needs to know. Get this book, keep it nearby at all times, and you will know how to raise your daughter properly.

1Taking the author down a peg.  Sep 20, 2010
By Scott M Rosenberg
The author and his wife have both given this book a 5-star rating. I'm sarcastically shocked that they would do such a thing.

Being as that's disingenuous and statistically harmful to the system of reviews on Amazon (as of my writing this, the book only has 9 reviews in total), I'm adding this 1-star review to create a median average with the author's review. Someone else has already posted a sarcastic 1-star review, so I suppose that makes everything right.

Admins: If you choose to remove or not approve my review, please also remove the author's. Thanks.

3silly people  Sep 22, 2010
By delzrock
This book explains that by reading this book you are a big dummy. It makes me laugh to know so many people are reading this book. The best part is on page 34 where he says "if you're still reading this you are a big dummy!". ha ha silly people. It's my favorite book.
