Pamela Druckerman's new book "Bringing Up Bebe," catalogs her observations about why French children seem so much better behaved than their American counterparts.


There was a thread before about gay parents being the best. Apparently, being gay has nothing to do with it...

Cultural relativity no doubt plays a part, but one aspect of the differences in French cultural attitudes can be had by Googling "Thylane Lena Rose Loubry Blondeau". She is a fashion model and has roamed the catwalks and appeared in Vogue.

She has been modeling since she was 5. In Vogue Enfants at 10. She is probably 11 by now. Can you say "Pretty Baby"?

So child modeling leads to improved behavior? I'd love to see your logic or evidence for this.

I'm pretty sure your sarcasm meter needs a tune up. Most of the comments
that can be found online have been highly critical of the parenting decisions made in this case.
