Vive!

Since I work at a French language and cultural center and I constantly surrounded by Francophones and Franophiles...basically many Frenchys.  I found this article on how the French raise children very interesting and true.  We offer French classes for children as small as 1-2 years old through teen age years.  There are always a bunch of kids here.  Let-me-tell-you.  The difference between the behavior of the children from the French mothers and the children from the American mothers is pretty shocking.  French children are generally quiet, polite and sweet.  And...sadly the American kids are loud and no-so-polite all of the time.  It's a good read and a good reminder.
