Danh ngôn của Benjamin Spock (Sứ mệnh: 6)

Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do.
What is the use of physicians like myself trying to help parents to bring up children healthy and happy, to have them killed in such numbers for a cause that is ignoble?
The child supplies the power but the parents have to do the steering.
There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.
Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.
When women are encouraged to be competitive, too many of them become disagreeable.
Every child senses, with all the horse sense that's in him, that any parent is angry inside when children misbehave and they dread more the anger that is rarely or never expressed openly, wondering how awful it might be.
The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all.
I would say that the surest measure of a man's or a woman's maturity is the harmony, style, joy, and dignity he creates in his marriage, and the pleasure and inspiration he provides for his spouse.
Preschool children are virtuosos of imagination.
I think we should bring up our children with much less pressure to compete and get ahead: no comparing one child with another, at home or in school; no grades. Let athletics be primarily for fun, and let them be organized by children and youths themselves.
As a peace activist, I am dismayed by the encouragement of aggressiveness and violence by television, movies, and war toys.
