"Trust Yourself": Revisiting Benjamin Spock.
Caulfield, Rick
Early Childhood Education Journal, v26 n4 p263-65 Sum 1999
Author of the landmark work "Baby and Child Care," Benjamin Spock changed how parents and indirectly professional caregivers raise children. Spock believed all infants are inherently good and discipline is mistakenly identified with punishment. He felt quality child care was essential to successful development and play for infants and children is a serious endeavor not to be dismissed. (LBT)
