Do French kids ever throw food?

ZUT alors! Not only are the French better at cuisine, couture and l’amour, but now it turns out they’re better at parenting too.

Apparently French mamans and bebes have inbuilt sang froid and savoir vivre, unlike their neurotic, competitive British and American counterparts.

French kids are more self-contained and civilised, and French mummies — while proud and adoring — don’t hover over their kids’ every move like neurotic velociraptors. They leave that to the rest of us.
