Do Germans Raise More Self-Reliant Children?

Midday on WNYC | Jan 2, 2018

Sara Zaske talks about her new book Achtung Baby: An American Mom on the German Art of Raising Self-Reliant Children. Zaske details her own experience as an American woman raising her children in Berlin and learning that German parents allowed their children to do much more on their own -- from riding the subway, to cutting food with sharp knives. Based on interviews and research, she looks at German ideas about self-reliance and raising children. 

This segment is guest hosted by Arun Venugopal.
