More quotes by Benjamin Spock
I really learned it all from mothers.
Benjamin Spock
Like my parents, I have never been a regular church member or churchgoer. It doesn't seem plausible to me that there is the kind of God who watches over human affairs, listens to prayers, and tries to guide people to follow His precepts - there is just too much misery and cruelty for that.
Benjamin Spock
A human being is happiest and most successful when dedicated to a cause outside his own individual, selfish satisfaction.
Benjamin Spock
Having a good time together is the essence of lovingness and the best means of increasing it.
Benjamin Spock
Don't take too seriously all that the neighbors say. Don't be overawed by what the experts say. Don't be afraid to trust your own common sense.
Benjamin Spock
Boys and girls need chances to be around their father, to be enjoyed by him and if possible to do things with him. Better to play fifteen minutes enjoyably and then say, 'Now I'm going to read my paper' than to spend all day at the zoo crossly.
Benjamin Spock
There are only two things a child will share willingly communicable diseases and its mother's age.
Benjamin Spock
Don't worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.
Benjamin Spock
The fact is that child rearing is a long, hard job, the rewards are not always immediately obvious, the work is undervalued, and parents are just as human and almost as vulnerable as their children.
Benjamin Spock
Don't be afraid to trust your own common sense.
Benjamin Spock
A boy, by the age of 3 years, senses that his destiny is to be a man, so he watches his father particularly-his interests, manner, speech, pleasures, his attitude toward work.
Benjamin Spock
Most middle-class whites have no idea what it feels like to be subjected to police who are routinely suspicious, rude, belligerent, and brutal.
Benjamin Spock
Biologically and temperamentally... women were made to be concerned firt and foremost with child care, husband care and home care.
Benjamin Spock
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.
Benjamin Spock
Parental trust is extremely important in the guidance of adolescent children as they get further and further away from the direct supervision of their parents and teachers. I don't mean that trust without clear guidance is enough, but guidance without trust is worthless.
Benjamin Spock
Can we make a better world for our children? I believe we can, if enough people are concerned and get involved in changing what is wrong with society.
Benjamin Spock
I love to dance and I'd love to be saying goodbye to my friends while the band was playing and they were dancing...I want them to remember I was a dancing man in my day.
Benjamin Spock
It's up to each of us to help create a better world for our children.
Benjamin Spock
How to fold a diaper depends on the size of the baby and the diaper.
Benjamin Spock
The loving person makes other people feel good, and he is usually a happy person himself. He is able to form strong, long-lasting friendships.
Benjamin Spock
