This refreshing read lifts the lid on how other cultures parent their children, with some interesting - and surprising - insights. Mei-Ling Hopgood explores how other cultures approach such issues as bedtime, potty training and squabbles between children and offers new perspectives on how to do things.
Each chapter focuses on one particular type of behaviour per culture - such as why children in Buenos Aires go to bed late, how the Chinese toilet train their babies or how Tibetans cherish pregnancy. All the stories are backed up with interviews and references from experts.
