Bringing Up Baby!
I
happened upon this fascinating show called "Bringing Up Baby". This
show compares three different childcare methods for babies: the Truby
King method (a strict, routine-based method ), the Benjamin Spock
approach (an approach based on parents' instincts), and the Continuum
Concept (in which babies are in constant contact with a parent at all
times). Each method is advocated and administered by a nanny for two
families each. (Wikipedia Link)
Each of the 4 episodes is only 50 minutes long- I highly recommend
watching them for FREE on You Tube. It gives you so much to think about!
I
have to admit that as easy as it is to get convinced that one method is
far superior, but I can't help but wonder.... there are so many factors
in nature and nurture.... Maybe the only thing that is important is
that parents choose a way that is most manageable for them ;-)
