Dr. Spock's BAby and Child care, e-book
22 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care in e-book format, is a beautiful edition to celebrate the book's 65 years in existence. When the book was first published, it was sold for 25 cents and was only 100 pages. The E-book with it's reduced price and the small size makes it more like the original first edition.
Robert Needlman has worked hard to maintain Dr. Spock's spirit in this new 9th edition. We are very pleased that the book is in digital publishing for the very first time. I think that Dr. Spock would be very proud of his book in e-book format. We feel that colorful photos are a great addition.

Excellent tool
27 April 2012
Format:Paperback
As a psychologist I am always interested in new parenting books. But I was unprepared for the paradox of the latest Dr Spock book - an absolute page- turner with a strangely calming, soothing effect. What was this? Maybe it had always been thus. According to my father, my mother was always rushing to Dr Spock for me, her first born.
The readability stems in part from the use of well-written, plain English - no jargon and no condescending tone to parents or children. The authors come down equally on both sides, yours and your child's. And the practical and medical advice on topics such as constipation, include levels of explanation that often get skipped over, yet are essential for understanding and solutions. Similarly, any of the psychological advice stems from a thorough understanding of the developmental tasks of each age and stage, while considering the various cultural and individual nuances of different families. Nonetheless, the authors do not shy away from "do's and don'ts". For example when discussing fears: "It is not your job as a parent to banish all fears from your child's imagination. It is your job to help your child learn constructive ways to cope with those fears" (p191). Sound how-to-do-it advice follows.
This important book not only fulfills its promise that you'll trust that "you know more than you think you do", but you will have been respectfully taught a lot that you didn't.

Trust Yourself
9 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Dr. Spock's book has been an enormous help to several generations of parents. My grandmother used the book, my mother relied on it and I used it as a guide in raising my grown girls'. We recently took in two little boys who needed a home and I find myself reaching for Spock again and again. His sound advice is practical and inspirational. Now it is available in Ebook form for a whole new hi-tech generation to appreciate.
Dr. Spock has always been a friendly name in our home I hope he will be in yours.
