Cecile David-Weill, PARENTS UNDER THE INFLUENCE
C\xe9cile David-Weill is a French-American and the author of two novels\xa0Crush (under the name Cecile De La Baume) and\xa0The Suitors.\xa0She studied literature at La Sorbonne in Paris and was a regular contributor to the French magazine\xa0Le Point\xa0with a column entitled "Letters From New York."C\xe9cile latest book,\xa0Parents Under the Influence: Words of Wisdom from a Former Bad Mother, is\xa0part memoir and part researched guide to parenting. C\xe9cile and I discussed the personal parenting struggles that led her to tackle this material, the idea that often we parent with our childhood suffering in the forefront of our\xa0minds\xa0instead of our children, the cheat sheets she includes at the end of the book to give parents a quick peek at the basic principles, and the idea that there is no one perfect way to parent. I really enjoyed speaking with C\xe9cile whose delightful French accent made me feel like I was strolling with a friend down the Seine. Not that I\u2019ve actually done that, but a girl can dream.
