73% Informative
Polish-Jewish paediatrician Henryk Goldzmit (Januszmit) was known for his revolutionary views on parenting.
His ideas sound like the gentle parenting philosophy that is now so popular today .
Some European experts even became famous in the US and the UK .
The Wonder Weeks , a translation of the Dutch parenting manual Oei , Ik Groei ! by the scientists Hetty van de Rijt and Frans Plooij , proved extremely popular on both sides of the Atlantic in the early 90s .
However, from Olga Mecking's experience, US and UK parenting ideas have a bigger sway in Europe than the other way around.
