Description
The runaway New York Times bestseller that shows American parents the secrets at the back of France’s amazingly well-behaved children
When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a toddler in Paris, she did not aspire to transform a “French parent.” But she noticed that French youngsters slept during the night by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They played by themselves at the same time as their parents sipped coffee. And yet French youngsters were still boisterous, curious, and inventive. Why? How?
With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman got down to investigate—and wound up sparking a countrywide debate on parenting. Researched over three years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up Bébé is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to transform a classic resource for American parents.
