Summary: Nurturing guidance all parents need!
Review: I got this book hoping to gain insight into early child development and parenting. Unfortunately, Dr. Spock delves too far into the realm of politics with his outdated, one-sided philosophies. This stale attempt at political activism completely detracts from the advertised purpose of the book. If you want a political discussion, watch the Sunday morning talk shows. If you want parenting advice, avoid Dr. Spock.

Summary: Nurturing guidance all parents need!
Review: I wish I had read Dr. Spock on Parenting when I had my first child. His advice is very practical, and he helps you understand your child's needs and motivations. His advice is easy to understand and always shows respect to both the child and the parent. I was reluctant to read Dr. Spock at first because I thought he was outdated. I was very wrong; his advice is timeless and his concern for parents raising children is very sincere. A must read for all parents!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Old-fashioned but still good advice
Review: Perhaps it's not stylish nowadays to admit that Dr. Spock is OK, but he really is. I love this book. It's packed with sensible advice.

To me, the most helpful section is the called _Teaching Sexual Equality_. It contains good commentary about raising children of each gender, making sure everybody (even Dad) does an equal share around the house, helping children develop healthy gender attitudes, and more.

I recommend this book for parents. It's enjoyable reading, not too academic or judgmental, and offers personal observations about child-raising, which the author shares with remarkable personal insight.
