7 Benjamin Spock Child Quotes

Benjamin Spock
” What is the use of physicians like myself trying to help parents to bring up children healthy and happy, to have them killed in such numbers for a cause that is ignoble? “


” All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood. “


” The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering. “


” Every child senses, with all the horse sense that’s in him, that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly, wondering how awful it might be. “


” We all end up at least somewhat like our parents, especially in the way we deal with our children. “


” Preschool children are virtuosos of imagination. “


” I think we should bring up our children with much less pressure to compete and get ahead: no comparing one child with another, at home or in school, no grades. Let athletics be primarily for fun, and let them be organized by children and youths themselves. “
