review 1: I read this shortened version after reading Bringing Up Bébé by the same author, but this is better. I rarely give 5-star ratings, but while this isn't a perfect book, it's great enough that I think every parent ought to read it. The younger your children are, the more useful this book will be, but it should even be helpful with teens. It's filled with tips for teaching children to be polite, eat well, sleep well, and more, and even great hints for keeping your marriage healthy (which, incidentally, is good for your kids).
review 2: I've read a ton of baby and child-rearing books in the past three years, looking for something that best describes my own personal parenting philosophy or provides more of a structure for the things I think are most important to t... moreeach my daughter. This search stems from the very different styles my husband and I have developed - he has more of a give-the-kid-what-she-wants-because-she's-just-a-kid approach, whereas I believe our day is filled with teachable moments, and giving her whatever she wants doesn't teach her anything. Luckily for my daughter, we balance each other out, but among family and friends, I find myself and my philosophy very much in the minority.Apparently, that's because I live in the wrong country. So many of the points from this book are things I've said or general guidelines I've tried to follow in raising my daughter: (8) Epidurals aren't evil - it's all about knowing what you can or can't handle, and you certainly don't need or deserve anyone's guilt trip about your decision.(12) Tell your baby the truth - I have been fighting hard against teaching my daughter about Santa Clause and the Easter bunny. Not only am I not religious, but I fail to see the importance of lying about why she gets presents in December or chocolate in April. What will she learn through my participation in the whole farce?(16) Baby formula isn't poison - again, a decision for the family to make, and one that's sometimes necessitated by circumstances not in your control - and you don't need or deserve anyone's guilt trip about the decision. (That last bit is important and bears repeating.) (33) You just have to taste it - one bite of a new thing is all you need, and if you serve it with something the child knows and likes, all the better. (46) Teach the four magic words - please, thank you, hello, and goodbye. (53) Give kids lots of chances to practice waiting - not for hours, mind you, but a minute or two is reasonable and shows them how to be considerate of others and what they're doing. (75) Show kids that you have a life apart from them - just because you do, doesn't mean they're not important.Others points from the book that I've encouraged my husband to consider: (20) Do "The Pause" - don't run to the crib/bedside the instant you hear her crying - your immediate, well-intentioned response will likely wake the child, who otherwise might've drifted back into sleep on her own.(29) You are the keeper of the fridge - don't let her help herself to whatever's in there or in the pantry right before dinner. You're in charge here, right?(50) Back off at the playground - let her explore and work out conflicts by herself - you'd be surprised and proud of how well she can manage.(56) Don't let your child interrupt you, and (57) don't interrupt your child! Just because she wants to play by herself for a little bit does not mean she'll grow up to be a psycho killer.(91) Say "No" with conviction, and (92) say "Yes" as often as you can. There are ways to say no by saying yes - for example, Q: "Can I have an ice cream cone?" You could answer "No, not right now" or "Yes, after dinner." (96) You're not disciplining, you're educating. And disciplining isn't a bad, horrible, terrible, awful thing that you should never, ever do, either.And others still I will be trying immediately and only wish I had thought of/known sooner: (26) There are no "kid" foods; (31) Serve food in courses, vegetables first; (35) You choose the food, she chooses the quantities; (63) Give kids meaningful chores; and(82) Your bedroom is your castle!Those are the points that spoke to me the most - and now that I see just how many there are, I feel the book deserves an extra star! The only area where I found it lacking was in advice - what steps can I take to change my parenting approach? How can I implement these 100 French Parenting keys? For some items, it's just common sense; for others, I imagine it could take a serious adjustment for both parent and child. less
