I think spock was pretty ground breaking in his assertions that infants and children should be respected as individuals and attended to when they cried. everyone else in the ummm..... 40's through to the 60's toed the strict, make'm toe a schedule/line, authoritarian parenting stuff. Not certain who originated the strict withdrawn parenting style- though in reading dickens i think that was the norm for a long while.
