Product Description
When it's time for your kids to leave home, will they be ready to face the world? Will they be able to handle the NYC subway system? Will they have experienced the challenge of a summer career camp? Will they be able to compare civilizations and governments around the world? Will their imaginations have been sparked in a foreign land? Will they know that tamales aren't edible until they take the cornstalk off?

In 1001 Things Your Kids Should See & Do Before They Leave Home, best-selling author Harry H. Harrison Jr. has compiled the definitive book for preparing a child for adulthood. There's so much to do...and so little time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lot of good info! Too much religious talk. My child does not need to feel stupid for not believing in their God!!!!, February 15, 2009
There are a lot of great suggestions in this book dealing with world perspective. As my fiance says 95% of this book is great. However 5% of this book is full of Christian propaganda. I hope every parent knows that their kid can learn and see the world honestly without being forced to believe in your religion. Case in point #567 "There is nothing like putting on a robe , picking up a cross, and marching down the aisle with an entire congregation watching to make an 8yr old take worship service seriously" Uh creepy anyone!? In other words there is nothing like forcing a kid to do something they do not want to in front of people they do not know for a purpose they do not fully understand. #573 " They need to ask the Holy Spirit for the words to say when talking to non believes" This may be the worst in the book. This teaches children to proselytize in school and with kids whose parents either taught them something different (not wrong) or for them to find their own beliefs when they are of the right age (not 8!). This notion is terrifying. I advise to just skip the section that teachers your kid to be close minded about faith because the rest of the book does the exact opposite.

3.0 out of 5 stars good advice. some weak points. expensive for what it is., August 7, 2007
By Francesco Scinico (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this book offers good tips, but don't take the Ramen one. you can't become the well-educated citizen the author wants you (or your child) to become if your brain is filled with MSG.
