Bringing Up Baby, French Parenting Book

When American journalist Pamela Druckerman had a baby in Paris, she didn't aspire to become a “French parent.” But she noticed that French children slept through the night by two or three months old. They ate braised leeks. They played by themselves while their parents sipped coffee. And yet French kids were still boisterous, curious, and creative. Why? How?

With a notebook stashed in her diaper bag, Druckerman set out to investigate—and wound up sparking a national debate on parenting. Researched over three years and written in her warm, funny voice, Bringing Up Bébé is deeply wise, charmingly told, and destined to become a classic resource for American parents.

Bringing Up Baby TV Series

Bringing Up Baby is a four-part British television documentary series which compares three different childcare methods for babies: the Truby King method (a strict, routine-based method popular in the 1950s), the Benjamin Spock approach (a more relaxed approach based on parents' instincts, popular in the 1960s), and the Continuum concept (in which babies are in constant contact with a parent at all times, based on tribal child-rearing methods and popular in the 1970s). Each method was advocated and administered by a nanny for two families each. The series was controversial when it aired on Channel 4 in 2007, particularly due to the actions recommended by Truby King advocate Claire Verity,[1] and questions over Verity's qualifications.[2]

Parental Guidance TV Series

Parental Guidance is a new TV show unlike anything that's been seen on television before. The groundbreaking experiment will look at the ways 10 families with very different parenting styles raise their children, to ask the question, 'What works best?'.

The Parent Test on Hulu

Hosts Ali Wentworth and parenting expert Dr. Adolph Brown explore different parenting styles -- from helicopter to child-led -- by putting 12 families under the microscope in the ultimate parenting stress test and sharing the learnings. The families are put through various situations to foster conversations about how each unit operates, with the hosts moderating. These parents may have conflicting opinions on how to raise their families, but they all share the common goal of raising happy, healthy children.

Montessori Parenting Style

The Montessori method was first described in the early 20th century, when an Italian doctor, Maria Montessori, observed children to see how they learned about the world around them. She sought to create schooling that appealed to children, rather than forcing them to behave a certain way.

Today, Montessori schools conduct classes based on the observations recorded by Maria Montessori.
