I don't know or maybe I forgot what Dr. Spock's philosophy was with child rearing. I'll look into that today in between golf and a photography club meeting. I'm curious.
"Spock changed all that with his encouragement for parents to follow their instincts, be attentive to the baby's needs, and be generous with affection." - See more at:

Wow!
I always felt sorry for my friends that were afraid of their parents. When my parents could not take care of themselves y brother sister and I hired round the clock health care providers to live with them. We did this for years and told them SS paid for all that. They didn't have much because they always helped us out. We always visited and talked on the phone when we could not be there. I miss them.
