Pamela Druckerman is a former staff reporter for The Wall Street Journal, where she covered foreign affairs. She has also written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Marie Claire, and appeared on The Today Show and NPR's Morning Edition. Her previous book, Lust in Translation, was translated into eight languages. She has a master's degree in international affairs from Columbia. She lives in Paris.
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.

在中國虎媽、狼爸、鷹爸引發激烈爭論之際,人們開始逐漸思考何種教養方式更為適度,能幫孩子走得更遠。中國悍母式的嚴厲管教效果顯著,但難免會有扼殺孩子的創造性之嫌;美國自由式的教養激發孩子潛能,但又容易陷入放縱養育的怪圈。 而此時,極具超前視野的媽媽們已把目光投嚮...
評分作者 王濤 我沒有到過法國,也沒有親眼看過法國的父母怎樣教育自己的孩子。《法國媽媽育兒經》一書讓我通過一位美國媽媽的目光學習瞭法國父母的教育理念和方法。本書的閱讀對我是一個比較獨特的文化體驗:一個中國人藉著美國文化的眼鏡去看法國人怎樣做父母。即便如此...
評分如果你想同時做女人和母親, 如果你想把自己的小孩培養的有禮貌又不呆闆, 如果你想輕輕鬆鬆帶小孩, 如果你想小孩聽話又有他的自由,如果你想小孩不挑食, 如果你在絞盡腦汁如何具體教孩子延遲滿足。。。 請一定耐心把這本書讀完。即使目前隻有英文版。 這是一個受過高等教...
評分書一開始就吸引我的注意力瞭 為何法國媽媽更勝一籌呢 為什麼法國的小孩可以安靜地等待食物的到來?為什麼法國的小孩可以在嬰兒前個4月睡整覺呢?。。。。 帶著種種的疑問,我認真翻閱《法國媽媽育兒經》 ------------------------------------------------------------...
評分圖書標籤: 育兒 法國 教育 Parenting 英文原版 美國 育兒繪本 文藝
比起育兒書,更覺得自己是在第一部小說或者文化散文作品,很有以前讀Peter Mayle的A Year in Provence的感覺;書後附食譜這點我很喜歡啊打算啥時候嘗試一下gateau au yauort這種幼兒也能做的蛋糕... 另外,按照作者說法,美國孩子其實也是小皇帝小公主,中國爸爸媽媽彆再老說美帝教育好瞭哈哈
評分更欣賞書中描述的法國人的育兒理念,不過把美國人寫得有些極端瞭
評分文筆很有趣、法美對比也有意思,但很多地方有點瑣碎(comes with the genre but still)
評分給予充足自由 卻不嬌縱寵溺 最深得我心的育兒經
評分這本書能治恐育。其實到後麵就比較重復瞭,簡單說就是1、不要把娃當成小寶貝而是要當成講道理的人 2、育兒不代錶不能追求事業+優雅生活
