The secret behind France's astonishingly well-behaved children.

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.

读后感

《法国妈妈育儿经》（美）帕梅拉•德鲁克曼 一说到法国，就都是优雅的，可难道育儿这件事，也跟优雅有关系吗？本书作者帕梅拉•德鲁克曼是一位到法国暂居的美国妈妈，孕期里她见识了法国妈妈们神奇又优雅的育儿之道，她们的孩子就是能在饭桌上安静地吃饭，在公共场所小声...  

书一开始就吸引我的注意力了 　　为何法国妈妈更胜一筹呢 　　为什么法国的小孩可以安静地等待食物的到来？为什么法国的小孩可以在婴儿前个4月睡整觉呢？。。。。 带着种种的疑问，我认真翻阅《法国妈妈育儿经》 ------------------------------------------------------------...  

书看了一半，很喜欢。 一打开书就津津有味的停不下来了。 自己怀孕的时候也看了很多育儿的书，大多是美国的，所以和这位美国妈妈有共鸣。没想到法国的育儿经会那么的与众不同。 在带孩子的过程中也关注自己正是我最近遇到的问题，老公说我是一门心思都扑在了孩子的身上，孩子的...  

一本书是否能勾起他人的阅读欲望取决于多方面的因素，我经常听到相熟的编辑抱怨：你知道有好多读者说为啥不想读这本书？因为封面上有那谁谁谁的推荐语……因为很少会有名家推荐的时候说些诸如：虽然我不同意作者阐述的很多观点，然而确实说的很有道理。像《法国妈妈育儿经》这...  

在中国虎妈、狼爸、鹰爸引发激烈争论之际，人们开始逐渐思考何种教养方式更为适度，能帮孩子走得更远。中国悍母式的严厉管教效果显著，但难免会有扼杀孩子的创造性之嫌；美国自由式的教养激发孩子潜能，但又容易陷入放纵养育的怪圈。 而此时，极具超前视野的妈妈们已把目光投向...  

用户评价

现阶段（孕后期）读这个非常合适，因为这是十分缓解焦虑的一本育儿书。

真的很好笑（用语幽默）

給予充足自由 卻不嬌縱寵溺 最深得我心的育兒經

一邊看一邊猛然發現，原來現在華人圈那麼多奇奇怪怪的帶娃論都是受了美國的影響，什麼必須多陪伴啦之類的，可是現在的小孩大部分在家裡都受到過多的重視了，要到幾歲才能發現這個世界並不像家裡那樣每個人都圍著自己團團轉的呢？讓我最深刻的是書中提到小孩的慾望不需要馬上滿足，其實是讓他們盡早學會耐心地等待以及如何面對挫折。

比起育儿书，更觉得自己是在第一部小说或者文化散文作品，很有以前读Peter Mayle的A Year in Provence的感觉；书后附食谱这点我很喜欢啊打算啥时候尝试一下gateau au yauort这种幼儿也能做的蛋糕... 另外，按照作者说法，美国孩子其实也是小皇帝小公主，中国爸爸妈妈别再老说美帝教育好了哈哈
