"The runaway New York Times bestseller that shows American parents the secrets behind France's amazingly well-behaved children When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby in Paris, she didn't aspire to become a "French parent." But she noticed that French children slept through the night by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They played by themselves while their parents sipped coffee. And yet French kids were still boisterous, curious, and creative. Why? How? With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman set out to investigate-and wound up sparking a national debate on parenting. Researched over three years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up Be;be; is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to become a classic resource for American parents."-- Provided by publisher
Americká novinárka Pamela Druckerman a autorka bestselleru A dosť! pokračuje v odkrývaní tajomstiev francúzskej výchovy. Dôležité je si uvedomiť, že život rodiny sa netočí len okolo dieťaťa. Nemusíte neustále všetkým ukazovať fotky vašich ratolestí, ani donekonečna rozprávať o každom ich papaní či kakaní. Nie ste len matka, v prvom rade ste žena, partnerka, manželka. Tak na to nezabúdajte. Milostný život a tajomstvá dospelých nezahadzujte do koša. Francúzski rodičia svoje deti milujú, ale to ešte neznamená, že sa musia vzdať svojho života. Nevenujú všetku svoju energiu tomu, aby ich batoľatá vedeli čítať čo najskôr. Nestresujte, ak ten váš poklad odmieta jesť hrášok či inú zeleninu. Ani vy by ste s nadšením nejedli niečo, do čoho by vás nútili. Chce to trpezlivosť a žiadne čokoládové úplatky. Francúzske deti nemaškrtia, kedy sa im zachce. Znie to až príliš ideálne? Nevyhovárajte sa na rozmaznávajúcich starých rodičov. Francúzske gurmánstvo sa začína už v plienkach. Jedlá, ktoré pripravujú v parížskych štátnych jasliach, sú zdravé lahôdky nielen pre deti. Autorka pridáva aj príklad týždenného jedálneho lístka. Bon appetit!
