As a pediatrician since 1983, I have noticed that over the last two decades, parents have forgotten what it means to make the right decisions for the well being of their children. Modern parents think that if the child cries, they must immediately do something to stop the cry, even if doing so leads to harmful consequences. Because of that, we have a society full with children that are disrespectful, misbehaved, obese, and socially not able to adapt. My book is called the "crystoppers", ( i..e. parents that concentrate on "making sure" that their child does not cry) or a practical guide for wise parenting. There are "Three Spheres" of parental control that apply to all ages: Sphere 1.- Sleep: from birth to high school parents have the duty to teach and enforce in their children appropriate sleeping skills in order for them to rest and have the energy to succeed on their daily activities. Sphere 2.- Behavioral/ social. Since the first few weeks of life and into adulthood your child will try to obtain from you different things in all aspects of life (sleep, concessions related to games, toys and activities, and in particular food items). The majority of these requests are obviously not in the child's best interest. To succeed, they utilize many resources; from whining, temper tantrums, aggressive behavior, to hugs and kisses, to blackmail or making the parents feel guilty. Giving into them causes serious social and health related problems. Aggressiveness leads to injuries, bulling, and even expulsion from school. Later on in life could lead to criminal behavior and trouble with the law. Sphere 3.- nutritional: catering to picky eating habits lead to an array of health issues. Childhood obesity, teenage diabetes, short stature, weakness, inability to do well in school. In the long term it increases the chances of the young adult to develop heart disease, cancer, stroke etc. If you follow the recommendations found in thi

About the Author

Dr. Kaweblum has been a pediatrician since 1980. He is the father of three children and grandfather of two. Dr. Kaweblum is actively involved in his community and he also has a black belt in Shoto-kan karate. Born and raised in Mexico City, where he completed his first pediatric residence in Mexico City in 1983. Moved to the U.S.A. in 1983, where he completed a second residency in pediatrics at the University of Miami. It was there where he became very interested in pediatric behavioral practice. Together with his wife Yvette, founded Boca Del Mar pediatric and adolescent Center in 1989. He has been appointed Top South Florida pediatrician several times from 1997 to 2010, and Florida Super Doctor since 2008- 2010 by Key professional media. Also most highly regarded pediatricians of South Florida by Castle Connolly 7 times until 2010. Over the last few decades he has noticed a very serious decline on the parent's ability to do their job. Children are disobedient, misbehaved and overweight. The main reason: 95% of parents devote all their energy to stop their children from crying; even if it means not to teach them the right sleeping skills, behavioral and nutritional values; instead they allow bad habits. That makes them "Crystoppers". Dr. Kaweblum believes that in order to be a parent you have to follow three rules: 1.-if something is bad for your child don't do it. 2. - if it is good do it. (Regardless of crying whining, or hugging). 3. - do not say I will try, just do it. His goal is to teach parents on how to rise healthy, well behaved , nutritionally balanced and socially adapted children.
