Advance praise for French Twist
“Presented with a touch of humor and spot-on descriptions of
childhood (mis)behavior, the advice, which touches on such topics
as breastfeeding and school participation, is practical and useful.
A refreshing approach to raising children.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[A] charming and clever parenting chronicle . . . Though some may
prefer their naughty kids just the way they are, this breezy,
entertaining study of parenting a la Paris may prompt others to
pour a café au lait and rethink their strategies.”—Publishers
Weekly
“French Twist describes an open-minded experiment in French-style
parenting (though apparently there’s not even a French word for
parenting!) and reveals itself as an honest examination of the
author’s own missteps and prejudices—which we all can relate to—and
the whole overparenting trend in this country. Are Catherine
Crawford’s conclusions ‘French’? Who cares? They’re immensely
logical and rational, and delivered with an abundance of
love.”—Muffy Mead-Ferro, author of Confessions of a Slacker Mom
“Ever seen a French child throw a tantrum in a restaurant or talk
back to his parents? Neither has Catherine Crawford. In French
Twist she uncovers the secrets of French child-rearing—and then
tries them out on her own family, with remarkable results. Part
memoir, part instruction manual, French Twist is hilarious, honest,
and incredibly useful.”—Lori Leibovich, executive lifestyle editor
of The Huffington Post
“Catherine Crawford has written a great parenting book. I can’t
wait to have kids and apply all I have learned here. Wait—hold on.
I’m being told I already have two kids. This is incredible news! I
will begin applying immediately.”—Adam Scott, actor, Parks and
Recreation
