Dr. Judith E. Doctor Writes Second Book THE TUDES

Dr. Doctor believes that babies are essentially born with their personalities already in place. Teachers, parents and peers then affect these traits as the child grows. They attempt to guide children to demonstrate desirable behavior while, at the same time, deter undesirable traits. Adults essentially mold the child into someone who exhibits behaviors that conform to certain societal standards and expectations.

In her book, "The Tudes", Dr. Doctor explains that although bringing out conforming traits in children makes parenting and teaching easier, it can also decrease creativity and discourage spontaneous behavior.

Dr. Judith Doctor specializes in pediatric ophthalmology, co-sponsoring the first pediatric ophthalmology clinic at Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital. She is often considered a pioneer in the field and has a genuine interest in child development, both in the field of ophthalmology and beyond. She also initiated the screening of premature infants in the nursery of Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut. Eventually, the program led to the establishment of specific guidelines that the hospital must meet before discharging premature infants to their homes. Currently, Dr. Doctor is a member of the Fairfield County Medical Association and the Connecticut State Medical Society. She is also the author of "Children's Eyes: A Guide to Understanding", available through Infinity Publishing.
