Healthy boundaries are one of the basic principles of French parenting. Parents have their own lives, children have their own. He is not the center of the universe. Maybe that’s why French kids don’t throw tantrums and understand what «no» means?
Journalist Pamela Druckerman came to Paris with her English husband, gave birth to three children — and, willy-nilly, explored the phenomenon of French upbringing. She began to notice with amazement that French children sleep all night long, do not picky food, do not interrupt adults, do not throw tantrums and know that “no” is “no”. How do the French manage to achieve this? She explores this issue in the book. She is surprised at every turn: contrary to all American trends, French women do not read mountains of special literature on pregnancy and childbirth, do not strive to give birth and feed a baby as naturally as possible and do not put him at the center of their lives: parents have their own lives, and children have their own . This book is a must read for those who are raising babies and preschoolers today. Arguing with the author, you can more clearly formulate your position — and choose those elements of the French philosophy of education that are right for your family.
