review 1: Really good read. Between the way my parents raised me and the way my husband's parents raised him (along with our own set of rules we will include or not include), we already planned to implement many of the things addressed in this book. However, lots of good, practical example...

review 1: From the blurb and maybe the cover, too, I thought this would be a collection of short stories about how French children behave, but this was actually a thorough analysis - more a behavioral science book. Too bad my child is grown up; I might have benefited from some of the infor...
