An Entertaining, Enlightening Look at the Art of Raising Self-Reliant, Independent Children Based on One American Mom's Experiences in Germany

When Sara Zaske moved from Oregon to Berlin with her husband and toddler, she knew the transition would be challenging, especially when she became pregnant with her second child. 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?

Through 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. Achtung Baby 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.

Works great but oily & messy
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
Works great. You look tanner as soon as you put it on. Very oily and messy. Can leak out of lid even when lid looks closed.

This product is all you need
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
I am a year round tanner but use this on vacations. Recently I had surgery and had to stop tanning, 2 months in of no sun or tanning bed exposure I was looking pasty. Summer just hit and I spent 3 days sunbathing for about 60-80 minutes and got a solid beautiful tan! I have olive skin that tans well, although I didn't burn at all I recommended monitoring the time you spend in the sun and maybe wear sunscreen as a base. The brush is nice but I find I needed to use a lot more product vs when I apply with my hands. I do intend on using the brush if I ever need to apply a spray tan.

Great item, poor packaging.

I love this product, but the last bottle I received had a crack in the bottle and made a total mess of everything. To return it, I had to send back the leaking bottle that had already made a terrible mess on my counter and table and I threw it away.

This stuff WORKS!
Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush, Color: 8 Oz Browning Lotion w/ Body Tanning Brush
My legs hardly ever tan— I get a nice even tan on my arms and chest but can never get a nice tan on my legs— this stuff is magic. I used the brush to evenly coat my legs, sat out for about 20-30 minutes and by the next day my legs were darrrrkkk! The texture is smooth- goes on and is kinda oily but it does a great job at moisturizing too. The smell is pretty mild compared to other tanning solutions. I love this product and have recommended to all my friends whose legs don’t tan well. 😊 ♥️ ♥️
