Focus on the Family Child Care Book
Dr. Spock's famous book on child care was one
of the most widely-read books in the middle decades of the Twentieth Century.
However, his permissive attitude spawned a generation of indulgent parents who
spoiled their kids. Spock forgot that love and punishment DO go together.
Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the
Family, stands diametrically opposed to Spock permissiveness. Dobson
focuses on love and discipline, with common sense. His organization has
published a thorough book detailing almost every conceivable aspect of
childrearing, The Focus on the Family Complete Book of Baby and Child
Care, by Paul C. Reisser. This encyclopedia of about 900 pages covers
childbirth to teenage years. It is a resource for mother and father to turn to,
time and again. Therefore, we do not recommend the paperback edition. You may
order the hardback edition (retail $29.99) online with your credit card at
www.giveshare.org/amazon/youth.html for $20.99 plus postage, or send $26 to Giving
& Sharing, PO Box 100, Neck City, MO 64849. Grandparents may find that
this book is an excellent gift to their grown children who are struggling to
raise good kids in a mixed up world.
