A charming and insightful look into acclaimed French parenting techniques.

This book offers a captivating exploration on parenting by American journalist Pamela Druckerman, who uncovers the secrets behind the calm and well-behaved nature of French children. Living in Paris, she observed how French kids slept through the night by a few months old, ate a wide variety of foods, and played independently while their parents relaxed. Intrigued by these differences, Druckerman embarked on a 3-year investigation, documenting her findings in a warm and humorous style that sparked a national debate on parenting.
