  • Raise kids who enjoy food and have a firm understanding of respect for others as well as themselves! This book is a great starting place for advice that just makes sense. Nov 28, 2023

    There is a new book by the author that just breaks down the different theories with examples and skips the extra fluff of this book. I did learn a lot overall, but I'd pick up the other book. Oct 23, 2023

  • I really enjoyed this read, but found it rather quick. So much easier to understand than others on the market, and was interesting to read overall Oct 18, 2023

  • I love this book, there are a lot of helpful tips and ideas Mar 13, 2023

    • Colby B.

    I love a lot of the tips that came from this book. I strive to raise independent, respectful kids, and I think this book gives some really good guidelines to do so Nov 30, 2022

  • Love this book so much. Learned a ton! Apr 10, 2022

  • My sister suggested this book and I'm glad she did! Some of the topics are becoming more mainstream but most are a fresh take on Parenthood. It can be slow at times but power through! Nov 15, 2021

  • a fun, light-hearted book that shows a new perspective on American Parenting. Easy and quick, with a lot to take away from it Oct 29, 2021

  • We loved the approach the auther has, helped us talk about what we wanted to set as ground rules as new parents. May 03, 2021

  • My favorite parenting book - funny stories that relate to an educational point. Both my wife and I read it within a week since we couldn’t put it down. Makes me want to move to Paris as well! Apr 14, 2021

  • This book is a fun, relaxed take on parenting. As a new mom, I have been overwhelmed with all the different textbook parenting manuals, but this was an easy read with great content! Mar 29, 2021

  • Easy read but everything went out of my brain and couldn’t use what I learned once bébé arrived Feb 17, 2021

    Love how this book brings a sense of humor to pregnancy. A very light read very informative overall a great book Jan 19, 2021

  • Fun book, I love memoirs and babies. Oct 21, 2020

  • The BEST parenting book I read, by far. The perfect reference for parents looking to raise their baby in an easy-going, relaxed and yet, structured environment. I'll gift this to all new mom friends! Sep 16, 2019

    • Leigh B.

    A funny and truly enjoyable read with a side of useful parenting advice thrown in! Sep 11, 2019

  • Easy read, funny, and great ideas! I found this a great read for parents in the late-infancy or early toddler phase. Aug 28, 2019

  • Fun and hilarious with a parenting philosophy that resonates with me. We believe in good sleep and eating habits, and in lots of freedom with safe boundaries and this book articulates that perfectly Aug 01, 2019

  • Provided some different perspectives on things (like creating good sleepers and eaters) than those of my surrounding culture. Some weird generalizations of US parenting habits used as comparisons. Apr 16, 2019

  • I loved this book! It's hilarious and such an easy book to read. It's certainly not a step by step book on what to do with a baby, but it's a great book! Jan 31, 2019

    Funny, entertaining parenting book. I enjoyed learned about the French approach to parenting. Jan 04, 2019

  • I love the real life examples and was intrigued to learn about the differences between American and French parenting techniques! Feb 11, 2018

  • Really fun read with some great advice. I love reading about different parenting styles and choosing which aspects work best for us. Feb 04, 2018
