A wonderfully written, intriguing story. Highly recommended! A good reminder of some of the personal sacrifices people made for the freedoms we take for granted. Emotionally turbulent and thoroughly researched.

The secret behind France's astonishingly well-behaved children is here. When American journalist Pamela Druckerman has a baby in Paris, she doesn't aspire to become a "French parent". French parenting isn't a known thing, like French fashion or French cheese. Even French parents themselves insist they aren't doing anything special. But French children are far better behaved and more in command of themselves than American kids....

Any additional comments?
I bought this book while pregnant after a chilling and depressing encounter with a shrieking, parent-kicking toddler. "I can't live like this!" I told myself. Since I don't see this behavior in Mexico, Africa, or Europe, I searched for a book that explains how NOT to have my child grow up behaving like virtually every other child I see in America- snacking in church and throwing toys and food crumbs all over the pew, ruining any adult encounters, and having all kinds of horrendous behavior excused with "it's getting close to nap time." Pamela Druckermann does an excellent job of identifying tactics that make sense, and showing that the "child king" does NOT have to be the paradigm.
