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 ? Saura-t-on lui donner assez d'amour, mais aussi faire preuve de l'autorité nécessaire ? Aura-t-on le droit de dire stop aux envahisseurs - beaux-parents et autres ? Se poser des questions est sain, mais trop de doutes fragilisent. Patrick Estrade, psychothérapeute depuis plus de trente ans, répond et donne son avis éclairé sur chaque question.

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. Sommes-nous assez vigilants, par exemple, aux propos tenus entre grandes personnes devant des enfants, y compris des bébés, aux oreilles écarquillées ? 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.By Juliette Nouel-Rénier. 2007

in that order. Harrington captures the emotions around parenthood, highlighting this time in the middle--midlife, the middle years of childhood, how women are stuck in the middle of so much.

on Dr. Severe's philosophy that children's behaviour is often a reflection of their parents'. Each chapter teaches parents to adjust their own behaviour to better handle a host of critical issues such as fussing at bedtime, tantrums, sibling rivalry, toilet training, setting limits, and more.

adults. Day care, play dates, and after school activities groom children to transfer attachment from adults to peers, causing children to squelch their individuality, curiosity and intelligence.

direct their lives. The author argues that today's teenagers do act differently than their parents did at the same age (and, thus, their parents must come up with a new parenting approach); he describes the psychological rules that dictate teenage behaviour, including differences between boys and girls; and, best of all, he doesn't overlook the humour in the teenage years - in numerous dialogues, he captures the way teenagers and parents really interact. Topics such as divorce, school, suicide, drugs and drinking, sex, communication, trust and conflict are dealt with. 1991.
