From Library Journal These two titles collect for the first time essays that the late Spock wrote for Redbook (1985-92) and Parenting (1992-98) magazines. They maintain Spocks devotion to the central theme of his advice for parents: simply stated, they should trust themselves. In The First Two Years, he expands on this idea in his reply to the question, What has eroded so many parents self-assurance in asking for reasonably good behavior? First is the preoccupation with child psychology, which has filled the shelves of bookstores and created a dozen magazines in the past 30 years. In The School Years, our contemporary cultures tendency to overschedule children is addressed. Spocks concern is that it can leave children overly tired and without the necessary time for friendships; however, the children he interviewed noted that they enjoyed the activities they were allowed to select for themselves. The First Two Years belongs next to Penelope Leachs Your Baby and Child: From Birth to Age Five (LJ 11/15/97) and Arlene Eisenbergs What To Expect series on library shelves. The School Years should sit alongside Louise Bate Amess books. Edited by Stein, who worked closely with Spock on the seventh edition of Dr. Spocks Baby and Child Care, these works are sure to circulate continuously owing to Spocks illustrious reputation and commonsense approach.
