When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby in Paris, she didn't aspire to become a "French parent." French parenting wasn't a known thing, like French fashion or French cheese. Even French parents themselves insisted they aren't doing anything special.
Yet, the French children Druckerman knew sleep through the night at two or three months old while those of her American friends take a year or more. French kids eat well-rounded meals that are more likely to include braised leeks than chicken nuggets. And while her American friends spent their visits resolving spats between their kids, her French friends sipped coffee while the kids played.
Druckerman successfully learned the secrets to raising a society of good little sleepers, gourmet eaters, and reasonably relaxed parents. She discovered that French parents are extremely strict about some things and strikingly permissive about others. And she realized that to be a different kind of parent, you don't just need a different parenting philosophy. You need a very different view of what a child actually is.
Druckerman shares the secret behind France's astonishingly well-behaved children and the story of her discovery process and the lessons she has learned as an American parent in France
