Do you remember the amazing Spock? No, not the pointy-eared Vulcan named Mr. Spock on Star Trek. I mean the incredible Dr. Spock pediatrician on everyone’s mind and in discussions around the dinner table during the 1940s.
If you are a Silent Generation or early Baby-boomer parent you may remember the amazing Dr. Spock with his book on correctly raising your children. Well, meet Dr. Kathi Kemper, the pediatrician who has been described by her fellow physicians and authors as the modern-day Dr. Spock
Dr. Benjamin McLane Spock born May 2, 1903 was an American pediatrician whose book Baby and Child Care, published in 1946, is one of the best-sellers of all time. The book’s premise to mothers is that “you know more than you think you do.”
His words empowered parents and gave them the confidence to trust in their parenting instincts.
Dr. Spock was the pediatrician everyone listened to and read about for three generations; the Silent Generation also known as the Greatest Generation and described as the happiest generation in America, whose parents were the G.I. Generation, was settling down to family life when Dr. Spock’s book was first published. The Baby Boomers born from 1946 to1964 picked up where their parents left off, and Generation X born from 1965 to 1980 referred to the book their parents and grandparents relied on to raise them. But, then times changed with the advent of the internet and all the information that flooded it. Some of it was good, but some was very questionable.
Will the Millennials born between 1980 and 2000 miss out on the parental confidence their parents, grandparents and in some cases great grandparents possessed? And as they continue to become parents in this ever changing world of health care, will they have no one to turn to for pediatric guidance?
Hope is here in the form of an amazing pediatrician who is also a parent.
Dr. Kathi Kemper is the right doctor at the right time for the changes happening in pediatric care, especially concerning the next generation of parents, our Millennials.
Like Dr. Kemper, Millennials also focus on prevention in order to avoid needing a cure.
They are the generation who believe you are what you eat and become what you think. They believe in the mind, body, spirit connection and working together with your Inner-guidance.
Millennials seek a pediatrician who can go beyond Dr. Spock’s ground-breaking teachings.
During our time of over prescribed medications, there is a need for holistic pediatric care that focuses on mind, body and spirit, while empowering the parent again. What goes around comes around.
Meet Dr. Kathi Kemper, the new doctor Dr. Spock in the pediatric playground.
