Bringing up bébé
One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting
Book • 2012
In 'Bringing Up Bébé', Pamela Druckerman, an American journalist living in Paris, investigates the French approach to parenting.
She observes that French children often sleep through the night by two or three months old, eat well-rounded meals, and play independently while their parents relax.
The book highlights key differences in parenting styles, such as French parents' ability to establish boundaries, prioritize their own needs, and maintain a calm authority over their children.
Druckerman's research, conducted over three years, offers practical insights and cultural observations that have sparked a national debate on parenting.
