sa liberté personnelle ? Risque-t-on d'être un parent " toxique " si l'on a des défauts ? Peut-on éviter de transmettre à son enfant ses propres problèmes ?

mais aussi de fragilité, de peurs, de doute et de culpabilité - sans parler d'une extrême réceptivité à ce qui se passe autour, dans la sphère des adultes.

Certaines phrases qui se veulent anodines, voire amusantes ou rassurantes, peuvent parfois s'avérer angoissantes ou même terrorisantes pour les enfants qui les entendent au premier degré. Enfants et adultes relèvent de deux mondes qui interfèrent, à la fois proches et différents. Chacun apporte à l'autre ce qu'il est - pour un équilibre à trouver dans le respect. 2016.Comment l'homme a compris d'où viennent les bébés (La connaissance est une aventure ; #1)
