Benjamin Spock
May 2, 1903 – March 15, 1998
Dr. Benjamin Spock was an American pediatrician whose book, 'Baby and Child Care,' became an all-time bestseller. His revolutionary message to mothers was that 'you know more than you think you do.' Spock was the first pediatrician to study psychoanalysis to understand children's needs and family dynamics. His approach profoundly shifted how parents perceived and interacted with their children.
