Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting (now with Bébé Day by Day: 100 Keys to French Parenting)

My best friend Stephanie is half French, and another friend of mine is married to a French man. Both have, at times, talked about how different and beneficial the French way of raising babies and children can be. Intrigued, I bought Bringing Up Bebe, written by an American journalist who lived in Paris. I like her honest, open approach – mixing personal anecdotes with case studies from French child psychologists and writers.
