Enjoyed the book
Not much books can teach you about parenting and not be boring. I find it helpful that author shared her own story to tell about French parenting approach.
Loved it
Amusing and insightful.
Divisive and disappoiting
Initially, I really enjoyed reading this book, and found some of it fascinating. Unfortunately, the advice dished out here is predominately based in anecdote rather than science, and could potentially be pretty undermining. It demonises completely natural infant behaviour, disregards the importance of responsive parenting and undermines breastfeeding as well as feeds into some patriarchal ideals that to this day repress women. The pitching of “Anglo-Saxon” and “french” parenting against each other throughout this book is also distasteful in the least and irresponsible, especially in the current socio-political climate. A somewhat interesting read but to be enjoyed with a massive pinch of salt.
