Dr. Bill &
Martha Sears
What
can we say about The Sears except that we have all of their books
and have read each of them from front to back.
Bill Sears, one of America's most respected pediatricians, and
his wife, Martha, a registered nurse and veteran childbirth educator,
have been counseling parents for more than 20 years and have
collaborated on more than 12 books on parenting, including The
Baby Book
and Parenting
The Fussy Baby And The High-Need Child.
William Sears, M.D., has been a pediatrician for 20 years. He
received his pediatric training at Harvard Medical School's Children's
Hospital in Boston and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto,
the largest children's hospital in the world. "Dr. Bill,"
as his young patients call him, has been a guest on over 100
television programs and is a medical and parenting consultant
to several national magazines, including Baby Talk and Parenting.
In addition to the titles she's co-authored with her husband,
Martha Sears is a certified lactation consultant, La Leche League
leader, and director of the Breastfeeding Center in San Clemente,
California. She's also a popular speaker and media guest, and
until recently, she cohosted the weekly radio program, "Ask
About Your Baby."
The Searses are the parents of eight children: "When you
say eight children, people conjure up eight little heads bobbing
along," says Martha, "but they've been spaced well
enough that we've never really felt the crunch — well, OK,
there have been moments."
Their kids — ages 4 to 29 — represent the gamut of
the parenting experience: boys and girls, one child with Down
syndrome, and one who's adopted. The two eldest are studying
to be pediatricians, just like Dad. They're also the grandparents
of three.
Martha Sears spends a great deal of time answering letters and
phone calls from parents all over the country, and she is especially
eager to lend a helping hand via the Internet. "We've reached
a lot of people one-on-one and that's great, but it expends a
lot of time and energy that only one person can reap from,"
she says. When our e-mail responses can be read — and our
live chats give a chance for some back-and-forth dialogue —
it will help so many more people." |
