She was surprised to discover that German parents give their children a great deal of freedom--much more than Americans. In Berlin, kids walk to school by themselves, ride the subway alone, cut food with sharp knives, and even play with fire. German parents did not share her fears, and their children were thriving. Was she doing the opposite of what she intended, which was to raise capable children? Why was parenting culture so different in the States? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough her own family's often funny experiences as well as interviews with other parents, teachers, and experts, Zaske shares the many unexpected parenting lessons she learned from living in Germany. \u003ci\u003eAchtung Baby\u003c\/i\u003e reveals that today's Germans know something that American parents don't (or have perhaps forgotten) about raising kids with \"selbstandigkeit\" (self-reliance), and provides practical examples American parents can use to give their own children the freedom they need to grow into responsible, independent adults.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sara Zaske\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250160200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250160201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Sara Zaske","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044399083775,"sku":"9781250160201","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_882fd186-a132-4285-94f9-830b982c6e7c.jpg?v=1684972632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/achtung-baby-sara-zaske-9781250160201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
