Re: Agree or Disagree with this article?
Hmm. Interesting, and I'd be interested to read the book. Is the basic premise that we teach rudeness and poor eating habits? And focus too little on the parents?
You?d never think that, since 1991, increasing thousands of French people emigrate to Britain every year because their economy is failing, their cultural influence waning and they can?t bear its racism, repression and recidivist ideas.
Britain must a bastion of open-minded prosperity then. Oh wait...
It's hard to have an opinion without reading the book, but I agree that STTN by 3 months business sounds a bit far fetched.
It sounds interesting, and DH's boss wants to move the company to the south of France... Maybe I should encourage him by the time we want to have children

<a href="http://www.thenest.com/?utm_source=ticker&utm_medium=HTML&utm_campaign=tickers" title="Home DI agree that cultural differences can be a huge influence on the behavior of children. I find children are MUCH better behaved (on the whole) here in Japan than kids back home. But the flip side to that is that CHILDREN ARE NOT SEEN AS A NUISANCE. They are given attention by all adults, taught to take care of each other at appropriate ages (here even boys of 10-15 years old come up to V and other children I sepnd time with and fawn over her, play peek-a-boo, etc), they are allowed to be wherever adults are. Even flying domestically here gave me an idea of how much more loving people are towards children, so helpful with my bags, no one giving glares, patting me and V on the back while she wailed during take-off.
That being said, a whole book on this sounds like a load of sh!!t. 'French kids are markedly polite, sleep through the night by the age of three months and leave their mothers with enough energy to look sexy and carry on working.' That is not only a total generalization (I'd go so far as to say fabrication and I know the French family I nannied for in Norway would argue since neither of their children were 'good sleepers') and also annoys me to no end...the reason I don't always look 'sexy' or 'energized' isn't because my child is poorly behaved. It's because 'sexy' isn't always a priority and life is tiring, before and after children. Total hogwash, I'd say.
