Bringing Up Bébé: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting by Pamela Druckerman

3.0

It started out as a great book, then quickly turned into "How timelessly wise the French parents are; and how ignorant and backwards American parents are." I got about one-third of the way through the book and honestly just got tired of listening to the author pile on anti-American parenting "statistics" in layers of personal observations, magazine articles, conversations with doctors, and friendly parenting advice from neighbors and strangers alike. I have to give the author three stars because she really puts her heart into her writing (and she is a good writer), and I can sense she genuinely believes that one particular country has found the "secret formula for perfect kids".
