The famous American pediatrician Benjamin Spock was once also popular with moms as Dr. Komarovsky today. His recommendations, at times, caused a flurry of confusion and misunderstanding, as well as today's tips Eugene O.. And Spock's book was published record copies (50 million copies), which broke... only the Bible. This all suggests that a high level of confidence mothers who "raised their children on Spock."
And, despite the fact that today the book Spock is not so much in demand, as before, in his works all the same golden rules for baby care products that are useful and modern mom.
Trust yourself. You do not know how to take the baby in her arms, the pope is afraid to change a diaper and generally you horrify any errors? It's time to relax. As argued Spock, loving parents intuitively find the right solutions. Talk with the child, smiled at him, agukayte and not afraid of anything.
Do not sacrifice themselves. The child was born, and you will forget about their own needs, pleasures? Not worth the sacrifice itself. Be good parents, take care of the baby and at the same time, pay yourself, love yourself. Only in this way, according to Spock, you can not lose the joy in life.
Angry. Many parents idealists become depressed when they start to get angry at the baby. Not worth it. As Dr. Spock says, be good parents - it does not mean luchitsya happiness always. There are times when your child must show (including, and his scowl), that he has done wrong.
Father and child. Many men believe that taking care of a child - it's women's work. While Spock encourages men to take an active part in the process, believing that in this way there is a beneficial effect on the child's character formation.
Heavy burden and the flow of pleasure. The appearance of a child - it is joy and severity simultaneously. Feeding, the eternal lack of sleep, colic, illness, reading books and playing when you fall from exhaustion feet. It's all so, but all these efforts will be handsomely rewarded by the joy that you get from the first smile of the crumbs of the first timid steps, the first successes. Appreciate those moments. After all, children grow up so fast!
