Bringing up Bebe

An American author's journey of why French children are more well-behaved

In this Feb. 7, 2012 photo, Pamela Druckerman, author of "Bringing Up Bebe," poses for a picture in New York. The just-published "Bringing Up Bebe" is written by an American who was struck by the good manners of kids in Paris, where she raises her own brood of three. Now she shares her lessons with those of us whose kids, alas, don't have quite the same je ne sais quoi. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
