Description
"If there is no blood, don't get up." This single nugget of parenting gold, offered by a French friend at the end of a long dinner party, changed everything for writer Catherine Crawford, her husband, and, especially, the couple's two young daughters. Crawford immediately began to see that while the United States had become the land of too-involved parents forever wanting to talk through their kids' feelings about, well, everything, France employed a far more laissez-faire attitude toward raising les enfants. Learning to sleep through the night? A few tears never hurt anyone. Food? Let them eat cake, sure, but only after they've sampled lamb chops, broccoli rabe, and the stinkiest of cheeses.
