Dr. Spock's approach to pediatrics is centered around several core principles:
Trusting Parental Instincts: He believed that parents naturally know what's best for their children. Flexible Schedules: Unlike the rigid schedules previously recommended, he advocated for more adaptable routines. Emotionally Responsive Care: He emphasized the importance of emotional bonding and understanding between parents and children. Holistic Development: He advocated for a balance between physical, emotional, and intellectual development.
