Par François Dumesnil. 1998
Dans sa pratique, l'auteur, psychologue, reçoit régulièrement des parents qui se retrouvent avec des enfants à problèmes, fugueurs, violents, décrocheurs…
ou toxicomanes. Or tous les parents sont convaincus d'avoir donné une éducation adéquate à leur enfant. Tous manifestent une incompréhension et un certain fatalisme devant la situation. D'après l'auteur, la réalité parentale est plus complexe qu'il n'y paraît de prime abord, et ne peut être réduite à une simple question de soins et d'affection. Dumesnil heurte au passage bien des idées reçues sur l'éducation des enfants. Il prend le contre-pied des théories qui ont contribué à placer l'enfant sur un piédestal, pourvu de tous les droits, sauf celui de devenir adulte. Un livre que tous les parents devraient lire.

Par Elaine Aron. 2023
A groundbreaking parenting guidebook addressing the trait of "high sensitivity" in children, from the psychologist and bestselling author of The…
Highly Sensitive Person whose books have sold more than 1 million copies With the publication of The Highly Sensitive Person , pioneering psychotherapist Dr. Elaine Aron became the first person to identify the inborn trait of "high sensitivity" and to show how it affects the lives of those who possess it. In The Highly Sensitive Child, Dr. Aron shifts her focus to the 15 to 20 percent of children who are born highly sensitive—deeply reflective, sensitive to the subtle, and easily overwhelmed. These qualities can make for smart, conscientious, creative children, but also may result in shyness, fussiness, or acting out. As Dr. Aron shows in The Highly Sensitive Child , if your child seems overly inhibited, particular, or you worry that they may have a neurodevelopmental disorder, such as ADHD or autism, they may simply be highly sensitive. And raised with proper understanding and care, highly sensitive children can grow up to be happy, healthy, well-adjusted adults. Rooted in Dr. Aron’s years of experience working with highly sensitive children and their families, as well as in her original research on child temperament, The Highly Sensitive Child explores the challenges of raising an HSC; the four keys to successfully parenting an HSC; how to help HSCs thrive in a not-so-sensitive world; and how to make school and friendships enjoyable. With chapters addressing the needs of specific age groups, from newborns to teens, The Highly Sensitive Child is the ultimate resource for parents, teachers, and the sensitive children in their lives. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF of questionnaires from the book
