I am not pregnant nor planning to be in the near future, but I was interested in reading about how these children are different from others. Picked it up and didn't put it down. The cadre and adult-centered child rearing sounds practical and do-able. It makes me believe that I could hypothetically raise children guilt-free, without feeling I'm doing it "wrong", but somehow I get the feeling that raising kids the French way is practical if you are actually in France: if nurseries or day-cares are only for a few hours in your area, or are not focused on teaching children how to be better people, and if the kids are not fed a variety of healthy fresh food, then I don't think it would work as well. Still, it is great food for thought
