No need to turn into a Tiger Mother — writer Pamela Druckerman says it’s the French model American parents should be watching. While raising her own children in Paris, Druckerman observed a nation of hands-off, no-nonsense mothers and fathers raising well-tempered children who eat their food and sleep through the night.

Guests:

Pamela Druckerman, former staff writer for the Wall Street Journal and author of "Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting"
