I’ve been gravitating toward parenting books ever since my daughter was born, and this one caught my eye immediately. The author hooked me from the beginning. Like her, I also found myself dying to know why French children are so much better behaved than North American kids. And while I can’t say I came away with any earth-shattering revelations, I greatly enjoyed the reading experience. Many of the techniques French parents use seem to come down to common sense: don’t hover, teach patience, live your own life, don’t let your entire world revolve around your children, maintain your authority in a loving way, and parent with confidence. French moms don’t believe in the myth of the perfect mom - they know she doesn’t exist. But they use the tools they have at their disposal to parent to the best of their abilities. And for them, that’s enough. Their children respect them and love them, but they also embrace independence very early on. They’re allowed to explore and learn and make mistakes. I found myself nodding along with much of the book, and I really enjoyed the conversational style in which it was written. This was as much an ex-pat memoir as it was a parenting manual, and I walked away after turning the last page feeling like I’d just had coffee with the author. Highly recommended! ( ) I am not sure if a book on child rearing is supposed to make you laugh out loud, but this one did. Druckerman writes with rare wit and insight as an American raising children in Paris in the French way. She is married to an Englishman, and between them have all the national stereotypes that you would expect. As a New Yorker, she is neurotic, and he is ambivalent; well you know where I'm coming from. She has never understood how a French mother can get a child to behave at a dinner table, and after having her first girl, seeks to get under the skin of the French system. She has obviously done a lot of research on this, as the book is peppered with lots of interviews and anecdotes. She comes to understand the way that the child is raised in France is a cultural thing, the nurseries reinforce the same rules and expectations of how a child should and must behave. An enjoyable read, I would not have normally picked this up, but read as a book of the month. Some of the ideas that she has described I may have to try on the youngest! This was well-written, easy to read. Much of it validates the Montessori approach to child development, so I recommend reading more on Maria Montessori. I don't think you can create direct comparisons between US culture and the cultures of individual countries, considering the population and history of each. The author's naivete was annoying at times, but overall this was an enjoyable book.
Much of the so-called French child rearing wisdom compiled here is obvious. ... Ms. Druckerman is oddly unjournalistic here. "Bringing Up Bébé" is essentially a series of generalizations based on her American and French friends and her own experiences as a mother. OnderscheidingenErelijsten
Vergelijking van de Franse en Amerikaanse opvoedingsstijl. Franse ouders zijn het meest ontspannen en hebben de beleefdste kinderen, aldus de Amerikaanse Druckerman. Ze geloven dat niet heel hun leven in dienst van hun kroost hoeft te staan en leren hen dat behoeftes niet onmiddellijk vervuld worden. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
