Jane Spockhttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201210/201210150158177812634.mp3Benjamin Spock was born in 1903. He was the first of six children. The Spock family lived in New Haven, Connecticut. His father was a successful lawyer. Benjamin was a quiet child. He attended Phillips Academy, a private school in Andover, Massachusetts. Later he attended Yale University in New Haven. He joined a sports team at Yale that competed in rowing boats. In 1924, he and his team members competed in rowing at the Olympic Games in Paris, France. They won the gold medal.
Benjamin Spock worked at a camp for disabled children for three summers during his years at Yale. He said the experience probably led to his decision to enter medical school. He began at Yale Medical School, but he completed his medical degree at Columbia University in New York City. He graduated as the best student in his class in 1929. Benjamin Spock had married Jane Cheney during his second year in medical school. They later had two sons, Michael and John.
Doctor Spock began working as a pediatrician, treating babies and children in New York City in 1933. During the next ten years he tried to fit the theories about how children develop with what mothers told him about their children. In 1943, a publisher asked him to write a book giving advice to parents. He finished the book by writing at night during his two years of service in the United States Navy.
Jane Spock helped her husband produce the first version of "Baby and Child Care." She typed the book from his notes and spoken words.
