More quotes by Benjamin Spock
I really learned it all from mothers.
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
It's up to each of us to help create a better world for our children.
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
Perhaps a child who is fussed over gets a feeling of destiny he thinks he is the world for something important, and it gives him drive and confidence.
Benjamin Spock
Physical punishment teaches children that the larger, stronger person has the power to get his way, whether or not he is in the right, and they may resent this in the parent-for life.
Benjamin Spock
To win in Vietnam, we will have to exterminate a nation.
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
In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
Benjamin Spock
There are only two things a child will share willingly communicable diseases and its mother's age.
Benjamin Spock
Respect children because they're human beings and they deserve respect, and they'll grow up to be better people.
Benjamin Spock
It's an ideal existence. Out in the open. Berating the president of he United States... I'm free to thwart and torment the authorities - that is to say, I can get out my hostilities - because I'm protected in my conscience by the knowledge that what I'm doing is morally right. I've never been so relaxed. I've never been so happy.
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
If I could make only one wish for a child, I'd wish him the quality of lovingness.
Benjamin Spock
Grandparents have the freedom to see their grandchildren uncritically.
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
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
Sex education, including its spiritual aspects, should be part of a broad health and moral education from kindergarten through grade twelve, ideally carried out harmoniously by parents and teachers.
Benjamin Spock
A human being is happiest and most successful when dedicated to a cause outside his own individual, selfish satisfaction.
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.
