Pamela Druckerman Libros

How do the French manage to raise well-behaved children and have a life! Who hasn't noticed how well-behaved French children are--compared to our own? How come French babies sleep through the night? Why do French children happily eat what is put in front of them? How can French mums chat to their friends while their children play quietly? Why are French mums more likely to be seen in skinny jeans than tracksuit bottoms? Pamela Druckerman, who lives in Paris with three young children, has had years of observing her French friends and neighbours, and with wit and style, has written a memoir that is ideally placed to teach us the basics of parenting a la Francaise.

In response to the enthusiastic reception of her bestselling parenting memoir "French Children Don't Throw Food", Pamela Druckerman now offers a practical handbook that distils her findings into one hundred short and straightforward tips to bring up your child a la francaise. It includes advice about pregnancy, feeding (including meal plans and recipes from Paris creches), sleeping, manners, and more.

The author confronts the realities of being forty, examining how the modern forties are less associated with midlife than in the past and discussing the disconnects of social media, the French perspectives about libido, and the challenges of raising kids while caring for aging parents.

An analysis of infidelity practices throughout the world offers insight into how adulterous relationships are practiced differently from country to country, discussing how fidelity is tolerated and accepted in other cultures while explaining the role of morality in how affairs are conducted in the United States.

The best-selling author of *Bringing Up Bebe* explores life in her forties, grappling with the disconnect between her mind and her appearance. Upon turning 40, Pamela Druckerman notices a shift in how she is perceived, as waiters start addressing her as "Madame," and men’s glances suggest a mix of interest and reluctance. Despite being labeled as middle-aged, she reflects on her newfound ability to understand conversations, maintain healthier relationships, and identify narcissists. The book delves into the essence of modern forties, questioning what it truly means to be a "grown-up" and highlighting the unexpected realities of aging, such as the unwelcome appearance of cellulite. Druckerman's narrative is a blend of candid memoir and humorous examination of daily life, capturing the peculiarities of this decade where: everyone seems vaguely familiar, chin hair becomes a nonchalant reality, and irony in fashion is no longer an option. As she navigates the challenges of aging, she realizes that many are merely "winging it" through life, often with varying degrees of confidence. With wit and insight, Druckerman invites readers on a journey toward self-discovery and acceptance, making this a relatable and engaging exploration of midlife.

Americká novinárka Pamela Druckerman a autorka bestselleru A dosť! pokračuje v odkrývaní tajomstiev francúzskej výchovy. Dôležité je si uvedomiť, že život rodiny sa netočí len okolo dieťaťa. Nemusíte neustále všetkým ukazovať fotky vašich ratolestí, ani donekonečna rozprávať o každom ich papaní či kakaní. Nie ste len matka, v prvom rade ste žena, partnerka, manželka. Tak na to nezabúdajte. Milostný život a tajomstvá dospelých nezahadzujte do koša. Francúzski rodičia svoje deti milujú, ale to ešte neznamená, že sa musia vzdať svojho života. Nevenujú všetku svoju energiu tomu, aby ich batoľatá vedeli čítať čo najskôr. Nestresujte, ak ten váš poklad odmieta jesť hrášok či inú zeleninu. Ani vy by ste s nadšením nejedli niečo, do čoho by vás nútili. Chce to trpezlivosť a žiadne čokoládové úplatky. Francúzske deti nemaškrtia, kedy sa im zachce. Znie to až príliš ideálne? Nevyhovárajte sa na rozmaznávajúcich starých rodičov. Francúzske gurmánstvo sa začína už v plienkach. Jedlá, ktoré pripravujú v parížskych štátnych jasliach, sú zdravé lahôdky nielen pre deti. Autorka pridáva aj príklad týždenného jedálneho lístka. Bon appetit!
