French Children Don’t Throw Food: Parenting Secrets from Paris | Pamela Druckerman | Review by The Spectator.
In France ‘neurotic’ isn’t a self-deprecating half-boast; it’s a clinical condition.
This culture of honouring anxiety seems to have made some anglophone parents lose their common sense. It turns out that French babies sleep through the night because their parents wait a few moments before rushing in to pick them up when they cry, to check if they really are awake. Parents talk to their children as if they are rational humans, and it turns out they are. Feeding babies vegetables and fruit helps to develop their palates; not giving them snacks means they have an appetite at lunchtime. A lot of the time it’s astonishing that this is news to anyone, but apparently it is, and if occasionally Druckerman labours the point, it’s hardly surprising when you consider the vast literature of anxiety she’s up against.
There are a lot of people who deal with anxiety and it's difficult for everyone. This is the reason most of the time people keep on hunting for the best possible solution in the market. There are a lot of methods which can be used to control anxiety, but since everyone is different not every method works on everyone. A particular method might work well on someone on the other hand it might not work on someone else. Some people feel more relaxed by medications while some feel at ease with the help of therapy.
