Über diesen Titel

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.

Yet the French children Druckerman knows 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 spend their visits resolving spats between their kids, her French friends sip coffee while the kids play.

Motherhood itself is a whole different experience in France. There's no role model, as there is in America, for the harried new mom with no life of her own. French mothers assume that even good parents aren't at the constant service of their children and that there's no need to feel guilty about this. They have an easy, calm authority with their kids that Druckerman can only envy.

Of course, French parenting wouldn't be worth talking about if it produced robotic, joyless children. In fact, French kids are just as boisterous, curious, and creative as Americans. They're just far better behaved and more in command of themselves. While some American toddlers are getting Mandarin tutors and preliteracy training, French kids are - by design - toddling around and discovering the world at their own pace.

With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal, sets out to learn the secrets to raising a society of good little sleepers, gourmet eaters, and reasonably relaxed parents. She discovers that French parents are extremely strict about some things and strikingly permissive about others. And she realizes 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.

While finding her own firm non, Druckerman discovers that children - including her own - are capable of feats she'd never imagined.

I love the book itself. Great insights and very easy to follow. But I don’t understand the point of the fake French accent in the audio version. It was totally unnecessary and annoying. It ruined my experience personally.

Fake accent ruins it

The information shared in this book is eye opening and incredibly helpful for those parents who are looking for a less stressed life.

Interesting insights

Interesting insights into more than just dealing with kids. Especially the part where the author describes how french manage ther adult relationship after kids are born, is very interesting.

Reminder of what makes the whole family happy

Abby Craden does an amazing job over all, but her accent when reading the (numerous) french expressions and phrases is frankly atrocious. That may be by choice to illustrate the author‘s bad French when she was first living in France - but it‘s just terrible to listen to if you happen to speak French half-decently.

Hilarious and instructive!

I think the content is great and very interesting. However, if your mother tongue is french, you will be irritated by the weird fake exagerated 'french accent' she often uses, it sounds more like a russian talking english... it really got on my nerves. The rest is great. I was curious about that book, since i talked to some french friends, who dont seemd to know that their way of raising kids is admired by some americain.

Listened to to this in almost one go - had a lot of "ahhhh" moments and am excited to try those techniques. Finally a guide that does not give you the impression that you are a bad parent as soon as your entire universe does not evolve around your kids or that you have to give in on every little thing your kid wants.

Only 4 stars for the speaker though .. the fake French accent when citing french people became unnerving after a short while.

Refreshing and reassuring

The fake French accent when quoting French people really annoyed me to the point where I don’t want to keep listening to the book anymore. It is unnecessary, completely over the top and overally distracts from the actual contents of the book.

Horrible, unnecessary fake French accent

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

This book is simply the view of an American raising a child in France. The author celebrates the French way without looking at this objectively, she doesn't add any research and this is therefore just an opinion piece, don't take it seriously. Also, I absolutely hated the way the narrator read all quotes from French people in a horrible accent.

Just an opinion piece, no research

As a new mom looking for ways to raise my kid, I found this book somewhat interesting, and am now looking forward to read about Françoise Dolto.
The fake french accent is really annoying, though.

Somewhat interesting
