Cool! Does she also have a companion book on corporal punishment for when the tape doesn’t work?
Look at the song titles - this LOOKS like it would be a great Industrial/EBM/Goth album.

For a more nuanced example that suggests it’s good to listen to adults without implying you should unconditionally obey them, take a look at the work Fred Rogers took when communicating to children: “Your favorite grown-ups can tell you where it is safe to play.
