Lorsque l'enfant se sent aimé, valorisé et sécurisé, lorsqu'il constate qu'on croit en lui et qu'on partage des moments de plaisir avec lui, il a envie de collaborer et de vivre une relation où chacun est attentif aux besoins de l'autre. Il ne faut pas chercher plus loin, c'est aussi simple que ça, c'est un jeu d'enfant. Tel est l'essentiel de cet ouvrage sur la discipline, que parents et éducateurs ont tout intérêt à lire.

Faisant appel à des moyens concrets et efficaces, elle met en garde les parents contre les effets négatifs des punitons et des récompenses. Elle souligne, par contre, les bienfaits de l'action de réparation qui fait appel à ce que l'enfant a de meilleur en lui et qui favorise par le fait même l'harmonie familiale". -- 4e de couv.Le défi de la discipline familiale (Collection Famille.)

By Carmen Bin Ladin. 2004
On September 11th 2001, Carmen Bin Ladin heard the news on the radio that the Twin Towers had been struck.…
She instinctively knew that her brother-in-law was involved in these horrifying acts of terrorism, and her heart went out to America. She also knew that her life and the lives of her family would never be the same again. In 1974 Carmen, half Swiss and half Persian, married into the Bin Laden family and found herself inside a complex and vast clan, part of a society that at that point she neither knew nor understood. Determined to protect her daughters from the inevitable restrictions within a society riddled with hypocrisy and contradiction, in 1985 Carmen moved back to her home country, Switzerland. Carmen's story takes us inside one of the most powerful, secretive and repressive kingdoms in the world and the Bin Laden family's role within it. 2004. Uniform title: Voile déchiré.
