The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care

Synopsis

"The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care" is arranged by topics corresponding to the child’s age, ranging from infancy to teenage years. Drawn from his career as a pediatrician,
Spock's advice is comprehensive, dealing with topics such as preparing for the baby, toilet training, school, illnesses, and "special problems" like "separated parents" and "the fatherless child".

Unlike leading child care experts prior to the 1940s, Spock supports flexibility in child-rearing, advising parents to treat each child as an individual.

Drawing on his psychoanalytic training, he explains the behavior and motivations of children at each stage of growth, allowing parents to make their own decisions about how to raise their children.

For example, Spock has an entire chapter devoted to "The One-Year-Old," in which he explains that babies at this age like to explore the world around them. He then suggests ways to arrange the house and prevent accidents with a "wandering baby."

Spock emphasizes that ultimately, the parents’ “natural loving care” for their children is most important. He reminds parents to have confidence in their abilities and to trust their common sense; his practice as a pediatrician had proven to him that parents' instincts were usually best.

POST SCRIPT

I would like to share that in December 2002, I published a Tamil book, "குழந்தை வளர்ப்பிற்கு சில உதவித்துளிகள்" with the help KANNADASAN PATHIPPAGAM, CHENNAI and financial support of many friends.

I was inspired to write this book after reading the book, "BABY AND CHILDCARE" by Dr. Benjamin Spock.
