After living in France for 2 years, this books helps put so much of French culture into context, I.e. explains why people are how they are! I personally found that many of these parenting lessons resonated with me, and I’m excited to try them out. I didn’t like the sections on weight gain/loss; it is clearly out of sync with the times. I wonder if it can be updated to be more nuanced than “French women starve themselves and so should you.”
