Parenting Book Provides Solutions And Ideas
By Janine Jensenoris
Two names stand out in the field of child development.
Each wrote a parenting book or books to help new parents
change their way of thinking when it came to raising
their children.
Both were pioneers and the first to step out of the
traditional parenting roles set forth by previous generations.
Dr. Benjamin Spock and Dr. William Spears changed the
attitudes of child rearing.
Dr. Spock’s advocated that each parent develop a parenting
program that fit their lifestyle and beliefs. His books
and articles gave advice on feeding, crying, and providing
guidance but left many of the decisions up to the individual
parents.
New Methods Of Parenting
His parenting book, Baby and Childcare, left many of
the older methods of parenting behind as he concentrated
more on the psychoanalysis of a child.
Before 1946 ideas about reading a parenting book where
not as widely accepted as in current times and parents
relied more on how they were raised than outside help.
The general premise of child rearing focused more on
discipline than on emotional attachment.
Father Was A Disciplinarian
Parents did not pick up their children when they cried
and physical affection was kept at a minimum. Fathers
did not have an active role in the children’s
lives and was generally thought of more, as a disciplinarian
than someone who could comfort.
Dr. Spock’s book changed the world forever and gradually
became an accepted viewpoint. Critics were many, but
his success was obvious as he came to sell over fifty
million copies and later went on to write three more
books and countless articles.
Forming A Strong Emotional Bond
Through Dr. Spock’s headway into the publishing world
with his parenting book, Dr. William Sears was able
to gain credibility with his theories on attachment
parenting. He has published over thirty parenting books
and offers his advice on many websites and magazines.
Dr. Sears approach on attachment parenting was centered
on the idea that children who grow up and are showered
with affection and form a strong emotional bond will
grow up to be more secure adults. They will develop
more empathy for others and will be able to express
their feelings and thoughts more readily.
Dr. Sears parenting book The Baby Book was, and still
is, a godsend for many new parents and even those with
a few children under their belts. The topics covered
range from bonding with the baby to temper tantrums
in the toddler years.
Pointing Parents In The Right Direction
As a parent, there is not a simple solution to raising
a child. It takes patience and a willingness to be flexible
and a continual review of your options. Reading a book
can point the parent in the right direction but it cannot
solve every single problem that arises.
Use the parenting book as a guideline and then use
a technique that works best for both child and parent.
Even Dr. Sears and Dr. Spock would agree that their
books are not the only method to use when raising a
child.
